Yes brian go with what you know, I use the other method extensively myself but you don’t have very large gaps to fill so your method will prob be better anyway. The case is going to be fantastic, something you should be proud of. The two that I have done weren’t as beautiful, it’s because of your wood choice. Great work brian.
