What tint is used in your timber mate UpperCaseH? It really bumbed up that grain.

That's ebony timbermate on solid ash - not a veneer top.

I was advised against using timbermate on my maple veneered kit because of the risk of sanding through the veneer. I would probably choose another method to pop the grain on a veneer if I decide to do that in future (inks look like a good way to do it to me, but I've never tried), but with that said I think the timbermate on veneer could be done if you were very very careful. I'd be too worried about going through though.

As Frankenwashie said above, I'd definitely listen to DingoBass on this one.
