Most of the Timbermate got sanded off, ended up more used as a pore filler than grain filler.

Thanks Simon, I was thinking of going with a primer coat soon. My issue is with the curves and roundover having grain bumps, the top and back are pretty good. I think I'll have another go or two with sanding sealer on the edges first. Maybe sand harder with a finer grit.

Spent too much time and effort to bodge it now.
