Thanks Dedman and Andy. You restored my hope for a happy ending.

Anyway, the knobs are finally in and as promised I made some pictures for you.

First two are from a distance to see the whole body:





And two close-up's.



The last is showing the glitter in the abalene in the knobs which I very much like. And on this image you can also clearly see where the softer darker parts of the wood are still rough and edgy.
