Hey Alan,
as Andrew suggested practice cutting the headstock shape on some scrap wood. Sandpaper rolled around a round object is good for smoothing the rounded surfaces or get some flap wheels (a few different sizes) that attach to your drill are good for sanding rounded edges.
Nice looking kit and best of luck with the staining, you can still go for a clear or slightly amber neck will still look good. My build has slightly yellow stain but almost clear and still looks alright
