I stopped worying about the rough ends because i atribute this to the wood, yes... This is considered a crappy wood, over here, but as always, crappy stuff can be pretty useful on a guitar!

I don't have his booklet, but am planning yes on using Auto Body Filler if more goes wrong, but since im still planning on a natural finish, some putty made of glue and the wood shavings could be better to cover these small tear outs

Like i said, i was planning on using a natural finish. Was thinking nitro, but since the wood is so soft and fragile, im now thinking about a poli coat to make it more resistant to small bumps!
Thanks for the comments, guys!
