I like the recessed plate, it's a great touch. I think the hole lines up enough that it will sort itself out as the bolts tighten up on the countersunk part of the plate. But a second opinion wouldn't hurt.

General consensus I thought is that the screws should slide through the body without binding.
Drill them out a tad more is my suggestion.
cheers, Mark.
For that to work you'd need to find a way to get the wax out of all the pores. I think if you find you have a nightmare problem like that and are in for a refretting then it would be better to replace the whole damn fretboard. But if you haven't got fibres coming away when you pull masking tape off the fretboard, like I had, you probably haven't a major problem.

FWIW I made a mistake with my first build and the masking tape pulled strips out of the board. I subsequently tru-oiled it and that sealed everything in with no further problems.
On my current build I waxed the board first and that minimised the pull out when the tape came off.

Wet the body down and it is drying.
Grain really does lift! Im quite surprised.
I can now see the line where the two pieces were glued together.
I suppose i now have to do another light sand to remove the lifted grain.
Then on to a colour for the timbermate

Also im looking at these colours for the timbermate
Ive been looking at YT videos about colouring timbermate and the guy even uses instant coffee to get a brown colour!!!!
Has any one out there used unorthodox colouring in timbermate?
Reason is that i like the idea of a dark brown grain fill then putting truoil over the top.

Timbermate is water-based and those particular stains are spirit-based. They won't (or shouldn't mix) mix well. You can try on a small sample but water-based stain for the Timbermate would be more suitable. Spirit stain is fine once the Timbermate is applied and dry.

What do you think of this?
Perhaps not really true?
