sounds good Doc, a fret saw won't cut curves very well. If you get within a few mm of the pencil line you could file the rest, have you got any harsh files/rasps ? Then when within about 1mm of the line you can sand it.

I have a coarse 8mm Rat tail file and a pillar file that I recently bought from Stewmac, but I might see if I can get a couple of Rasps from the Big Green Shed, along with some sheets of sandpaper too, oh and the copper snail tape as well.
