And here it is all back together (temporarily - I still need to rub out the finish after the lacquer cures).

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. The zebrawood pattern (and color) isn't identical to the original - but to my eyes it's pretty good.

Next up I'd like to try reproducing the photofinish on a 54S. Icon_smile
