Either answer is fine with me.

I'm starting on my first neck in a couple weeks. Practicing the shaping with a couple scrap pieces of poplar first and then on to maple after I get a feel for it.
Good idea with the poplar.

The epoxy clay I use this this stuff.



But I'm pretty sure it's an Australia/NZ only company. That said - there's bound to be an equivalent product available from your local hardware store in Ohio.

There are also other methods, but I use this because it's cheap - and those tubes of epoxy clay are so damn useful around the house/car.
