My first build: DTL-1

Will definitely keep the pics coming.

Last night as I was dozing off I found myself considering using a sharp knife to try make scratches in the filler to continue the grain pattern. I think I may have a problem...

Anyway, the new wood fillers have arrived -- will see if they're a better colour match, and try not to obsess too much about this detail

Its when you carve an artificial grain and then fill it with grain filler that you're really losing it...
If you're going to try mixing fillers for a colour match, don't forget to do some experiments so you can make an estimate of how much it changes colour when it dries. And maybe even more important how much it changes colour with whatever finish you are going to put on top of it.
