Post Stick w/guitar frets ques.
The STICK I'm currently using is #239 ironwood with guitar frets. Bought from Stick enterprises last month.
The frets edges feel a little rough when sliding .
Is this normal with this type of fret? I'm new to the Stick.

Go to StewMac.com and get one of these things for $14.
If you have the hand tool skill set to file your own fingernails you ought to be able to take care of this yourself. Go slow and watch what you're doing.

Hi, the problem is the inter part of the frets. Length of the frets . the frets seem squared.

I'm not sure what you mean by "inter part" and "squared". Are the fret ends hanging over the point where the wood stops?

Hi,

The fret itself, if you had you're finger in the center of the stick and slid up or down. Not a smooth ride over the frets.

On the bass side not so noticeable due to the heavier strings. Melody side really noticeable. Due to the light gauge strings. Stick is in classic tuning,light gauge.

If it came from S.E. a month ago it should be PERFECT. If there's something you think is wrong phone S.E. directly. I actually talked to Grace this week when ordering strings. (Emmett's daughter and Stick setter-upper)

How hard are you pressing down? You only need to press down with enough pressure to keep the string against the fret.
