looks awesome Doc, well done, I told you the timbermate would make the subtle grain look much darker and pop.
The CG has really brought the axe alive, no wonder you are stoked.
Any photos of the back or have you just stained the top/sides ?

get a scrap piece of wood and screw it into the neck screw holes and drill a hole at the top and hang it somewhere is the best way for the body to cure

it's no fluke the axe is looking good mate, when you use good products this is the result !!
