I should get enough time over the next couple of weeks to finish it before the gassing festy, so you might get to test drive it.

I took another look at it this morning, holding the guitar to catch the light, and the oil finish had left a bit of a "streaky" finish. Tried buffing it out, but no chance.
So I buffed it out with sandpaper instead. Back to 240 grit, then working through to 1200.
Nice and smooth, but that took some of the colour out too, so a few thin coats to re-stain it, and it's ready for the oil finish again.
This time the oil coats will be thinner and more carefully applied ...
:-/
So, I decided to do the washed denim finish again (despite just having done one in that finish) and not to try to hide the defect. Hopefully it's give it more of a warts'n'all dirty / imperfect look rather than a sanitised perfect look.
I think that will look OK on a dirty/washed denim colour, but time will tell.
@Sporky: Green - no.
Of course, I'll never know how it would have looked without the added stain, but I'm quite happy with the way it's turned out, and I'll always tell myself that the extra golden hue is because of my expertly mixed stain.
Rubbed down again, re-stained, re-oiled and a quick buff.
Wired up, but not strung up (as the nut I thought I'd put in my build box, turned out not to be actually there when I went to get it out, bah) so the pickups aren't screwed into place yet.

I love the almost geometric variation in flame direction - looks like a piece of dramatic modern art
