yer cool, no need to sand the neck much higher than 240 or 320 grit or the wudtone may not soak in.
Look forward to the headstock shape !

Not using wudtone on this neck mateDB gave me a test run of a new product!
Regarding the shaping of the headstock... I really don't have access to a jigsaw or a bandsaw at all. I was thinking about buying a coping saw and using that but does anyone have any other suggestions? I'm trying to keep the cost down as much as possible as I'm still a student.
I always use a coping saw instead of the jigsaw, I prefer it... but you may want to give yourself several mm's outside the line as it is very easy to stray from the path if you're not used to it. Importantly, don't rush the cut. Then finish up with a rasp and sandpaper.
Scott.
I've had no problems using a coping saw - as long as you keep a sharp blade in it.

Update time!
It is time.
Rough cut
Roughly shaped - few more flat spots to sort out.
Everything turned out a lot better than expected! Stoked with the figure on the headstock too.
nice work Nick looks great, see its not that hard to do with hand tools !

Well done Nick. Just takes a bit longer with hand tools.
Looking schmick, Nick.
Might have to come down and borrow your coping saw for my MB headstock and neck heel.
