I have been using it too, but my wood doesn't seem quite as bad as that. I do like it though!

Thanks Bob, good info. I haven't tried to rout it yet. You're right about dulling tools for sure.

There is really nothing left to say, except to add my "Well Done" to the chorus.
23 years and 100 guitars. Those are numbers I may never get to.
Congratulations!!

Bob,
I believe I understand what you did. But how did you do it? If you "drilled" a round hole, how did you get a piece of round white wood the right size to fill the hole?
Thanks for your posting. Very nice work.
Ed

I used a holly splinter to fill the hole.

Congratulations Bob! That's a great achievement. I still have many sets of Osage that I salvaged in much the same way near Leesburg, VA.
