We were taught to make guides with straight edges so you can't go wrong. But it doesn't make the task any less tedious. You can hand plane the bulk off if you're good enough.

I did think about that (building a guide jig for the sanding blocks) but I’d have been resigning myself to continuing with the sanding blocks and the countless hours of tedium (and I’m not good enough with planes yet).
Don’t get me wrong, I can manage to get a decent result, it’s just a complete pain in the hole.

Cannot recommend hard enough. Turns a frustrating, dusty, time-consuming job into an easy 5 minute one. Much, much more accurate. I found it nearly impossible to get the correct radius with sanding blocks.
