This is a continuation of part 1.
Below: Cutting out the pick guard with a bandsaw, purposely staying 1/16″ away from the cutting line in order to file down later since the bandsaw leaves a rough cut edge; the edge will be smoothed out in a moment.
Below: Pick guard has been cut and is now ready for edge shaping.
Below: Spindle sander now used to smooth out rough edges left behind from bandsaw, and for more precise shaping. 80-grit was used.
Below: Metal file used for more precise shaping on the outside curves. (Note: Outside curves are easier to shape by band instead of using the spindle.)
Below: Back to the spindle sander, using a smaller spindle for this particular inside curve.
Below: Done. The outside line is now smoothed properly.
