Today I sanded the radius onto two fretboards. Then, I glued them into place on their respective necks. One will be for a
Highline Envirocaster Single Cut and the other will find a home on a
Highline Envirocaster Double Cut. Check out the progress photos:

| I used a 12" radius sanding block with 60 grit sandpaper to form the initial radius. Then I switched to 80, 150 and finally 220 grit to get it ready for the frets. |
 |
| After installing the truss rod (with a bead of bathtub caulk along its length to prevent buzz), I glued on the fretboard. |
 |
| Notice the glue squeeze out? When it dries, I'll knock off the glue with a chisel. I never wipe off excess glue. That causes the glue to soak into the wood, which prevents the wood from absorbing the finish. |
