Neck Fret Dots and Filler

Installing the fret dots was pretty straightforward.  Still, I managed to screw up the easy.  Some of my dots are out of line because of poor planning and a wandering bit on my drill press.  In the end, I decided to just go with what I had and not try to fix it because shifting a hole on the fretboard would be even more obvious than a shifted dot.
Here's the front and side views showing the larger dots on the front and the smaller dots on the side.


Before staining the mahogany on the neck, I had to use wood filler as I did on the walnut.  I used a mahogany-colored filler this time.  Here's the neck with the filler applied followed by a picture of the neck after removing the filler.
