First Build update (5er Fretless)

Man, it's been awhile since I've been on here.

After fighting with threaded inserts, inaccurate drilling and a sub-par pickup routing job I have decided to do do wooden pickup covers for my Bartolini J-Bass pickups. I saw the thread Wilser had created as a "How To". Does anyone have any recent shots of their wooden covers?

Here is when I am at right now. Sorry for the iffy cell phone pics:

Kinda wish the contrasting layers of the body were more visible from the front. The colors create a sweet effect.

Would probably be more advisable to continure off the old threads so readers can see the progress.
