1. What do I use to cut the headstock within pricing barriers and the fact that I live in a unit with only a small courtyard? I was thinking a hand held powered (not battery as I wont use it that much) jigsaw. I have a dremel style kit with heaps of attachments for the fine work.
2. How do you finish a maple fretboard with the frets already in it? Do you just lacquer over the frets and all? Or can I tape off the fretboard as I have done with rosewood and stain and finish the neck.....then I have to finish the fretboard with something long lasting....as this may go to a family member whose maintenance desire may be less than mine.....e.g. tru oil or just dingo wax will need upkeep. I am thinking something like a polyurethane or spray acrylic. Ideas? Which way is the grain running on a maple fretboard? So if I wish to sand do I go across between the frets or down the neck from headstock to the 21st fret?
