DYI squaring rounded fretboard end

[JamesSan]

I ordered a really awesome in-stock neck and it has a rounded fretboard end. The neck is finished but I was going to square the end off a bit. Anyone done this or should I leave it?
Seems pretty simple with a sanding block and some. patience.

Personally, I would not try it.
Next time, call Warmoth and ask them to square off the fretboard end. They offer it as an off-menu option.

I used to have them squared but this neck was in stock and it looked awesome so I bought it.

I have done some very small rounding of Warmoth fretboards with a sharp razor and then light sanding before doing the fretwork that I always do anyway. Just scrape the razor from one fret to the next at about 60 degrees several times then sand up to 800.

Edit. I read your post wrong. I’ve never seen anyone try to square off rounded edges.

Funny - I'm the opposite. I find squared off fingerboards unsightly and plan to round off the corners of my next purchase. Just one guy's opinion worth exactly $0.
