Step 5Contour Cleanup
Its almost guaranteed that things will look pretty bad after the guitar comes off the mill. Very wavy and terribly sharp-edged. A wood rasp will make quick work of it, though.
Use the rasp to clear up the rough waves and bring your wood right to the pencil line. Try to keep the sides as straight as possible, and don't use the rasp on an angle.
Once you're happy with the shape, break out the palm sander and start sanding the edges smoother. You can sand it to your finished smoothness now if you want, or you can wait until after all the milling to finish this step.
Once completed, we've got some math to do!
