Welcome back XP rider.
I did a similar thing with my TLA-1 kit. Ebony timbermate to fill the grain, followed by a Jarrah alcohol stain. Then coated with tru-oil. I'm really happy with the result.

Also trying a dark blue on a mahogany body . Timbermate grain fill, followed by a blue water based stain. Then coated with a wipe-on-poly. Really happy with the colour, but I should have coated the body with a couple of layers of grain fill.
