String through and ferrule holes are done. I think I can pretty safely say I'm never going to try that again without a drill press.

Some of them are a bit off and I totally butchered the body near the holes but I'm pretty happy with the end result. The bridge will hide the holes on the top side anyway. If the back looks bad with the finish I'll try what colin2121 suggested.

First two coats of tru oil on the neck are also done, it's starting to come together.
