What if you have a guitar with a compound radius? Do you have to use a few different ones?

I'm just curious, does anyone know how this finish is done?

Hi folks, I'm currently planning my first project guitar. These are the basic specs:

Hollow Swamp Ash Strat Body - likely from Warmoth or USACG

Rosewood on Birdseye Neck 1 5/8 fatback w/ compound radius - from Warmoth or USACG

Hard Tail

Lindy Fralin or DiMarzio VV N&M Pickups

PAF-type bridge humbucker to be named later

Standard strat pickup combos and T/V controls

Pretty pearl white pickguard

Translucent blue finish - like this http://www.melanconforum.com/images/Kim%20...x%20Classic.jpg

I'm currently collecting the tools I'll need as I've really been into taking care of and setting up my guitars lately. Can anyone point me to a tutorial on cutting the nut, and recommend some books to help get me on my way? I already plan on purchasing the Guitar player Repair Guide and Make Your Own Electric Guitar. I also plan on documenting the process from start to finish on the web. If anyone has comments or advice on my materials choices you're more than welcome to share them. Thank you in advance to any help you may be able to offer.
