Guy This procedure works ok with cedar shafts, but i wouldn't recommend it for doug fir or spruce. a coping saw would work excellent, as will a fine tooth back saw, fret saw, or dove tail saw like the link below..... but scoring the wood with a sheet rock knife FIRST is the best way.....Doing this keeps the wood from splintering.
