I began work on my first project tonight. I measured out the placements for the strings, and measured how much I wanted to trim off the headstock at the top of the neck. I'd read that for cbg's you want a nice hard wood, such as poplar, so that's what I chose. As I've not worked with poplar in the past, I had absolutely no idea how hard it actually is. After an hour of sanding, I'd only removed about half the material I wanted to. If anyone has any tips on working with hard wood, I'd really appreciate it.
