Okay so a bit of a break in progress, mostly due to sanding, sanding and some more sanding. Using some of the tips provided on the forum I've, gone over the edges of the body and finessed out all of the deeper machine scratches, many thanks to posts by Maddog and Weirdbits on other threads for some technique and method tips. The only meaningful thing achieved (other than sanding) was to cut and shape the fillets to take up the gap under the fret board left from cutting the neck tenon.
as you can see there are some little fills needed at the end of the neck, mainly due to shaping and removal of scratches. A quick level off once the glue is dry and we will be ready to get the fretboard back onto this thing!
A question on the use of Timber mate, if i am going to go with a black stain like DT Black stump, do i need to find the darkest colour of timber mate possible? Can i go with Jarrah or walnut instead of Ebony? reason i ask is that ebony seems to be in short supply at the moment.
