I don’t see any problem with that.

For the record, there has to be a few amps too.

I am stealing from a previous build, wenge, padouk fretboard, 42mm, gibson conversion

That's going to be a beautiful combo, will definitely be following the build. What finish are you contemplating ? If it helps, I bought a piece of Wenge from Rockler to experiment with because I am considering one as well, and after sanding up to 2000 grit and burnishing it is like silk. No finish required. I love natural wood necks with no finish, and Wenge seems to be a great candidate for that. That's also how I do my roasted Maple.

What finish are you contemplating

On this one, I don't want a shovel,
I want to stain the back ebony and clear of course on the front. I don't know what the best finish is or if wood fill is necessary for the padouk. I am very interested in other members who have worked with padouks opinions.

I am not finishing the neck.
