    i do the exact same thing as you McCreed, right down to the block with 24 holes. The latest effort was on the IB-5 filling the slot ends with Sheoak dust and super glue.
    Wow! I'm lazy and just use Timbermate!
    However if I was making my own fretboards like you, I'd probably make the extra effort. Especially on a timber with a unique or very individual colour.

    I'm presently contemplating a re-radius and re-fret on a bog standard maple neck I have since I'm taking a break from doing complete builds at the moment.

    I never though of using timbermate. But given the colour of the sheoak board I’m not sure I could get a match and it would have bugged me if it wasn’t quite right.
    Something to consider for the next one!

    In these non-binary gender times, can you still say Sheoak? Theyoak would be a far more acceptable name, I'm sure
