I have a question. I normally radius the fretboard and press the frets in before carving the neck but I decided to carve the neck first this time. It seems like there is a little back bow in the neck now. I am guessing I need to adjust the relief before I radius the fretboard?
@@HighlineGuitars Thanks for the response, I should have stuck to the order that I am used to but I wanted to try using Stewmacs Safe-T planer to put a taper on the neck and thought it would be easier with a flat fretboard.
Nothing like putting the first coat of finish on and seeing a scratch!

I would.

You'll want the fretboard level--flat before you start radiusing it.
Darn it I’m late. Apologies.
No worries, I’m on the road.
