Time to finish up the fat dots. Some lengths of masking tape stacked on top of each other and then drilled through with a sharp 8mm brad point to act as guards for the fretboard so that I could use a file to rough down the radius on the dots.
The initial radiusing revealed a flaw on the 15th fret dot that was previously hidden. My first reaction was to drill it out and replace but the shape grew on me so I decided to leave it.
Final cleanup of the new dots and then a scrape and fine sand of the fretboard up to 1500 grit.
I seated a few frets, touched up the ends, and then it was time to level. Fret rocker to find the high points, marked with black, and then everything else gets red.
12" radius sanding block until the black is gone and the red is just touched.
