Step 5Hatch and Hog the Curves
This pullsaw hasn't hit a nail yet so it cuts pretty straight.
My bandsaw is used by young scientists to cut hard drives in half while they're still spinning.
It cuts in a fractal pattern. To deal with that, crosscut sideways down to your line, then split the chunks out one by one with a knife.
If your wood has crazy grain this will help avoid splitting down into the good part too deeply.
The first banjo neck I made the body dowel part of the neck was too high and the face of the body buzzed on it. So I carved it back. The second one I made the dowel curved.
