I also went up a 1/64" in drill size on the new holes to clear the screws properly when it is tightened together.
FrankenWashie it’s messing with my OCD too, I was thinking some neck ferrules would make it less obvious but on closer inspection it looks like the holes might be too close to the edge to recess them. Looks like I’m in for a plug and redrill too unless I can sand the edge enough to make it appear that it’s straighter
