I’ve enjoyed the work it’s been hard going at times! Can't explain how happy I was when i got to play it for the first time!
No need to berate your work - not pro?
I can understand the feeling.

Nice work! I'd be just as thrilled and proud as you are if I'd achieved what you have. Enjoy

Very nice work!
I'm getting ready to do something similar to one of my basses where I went router happy back in the 70s lol It wasn't that bad though.
Was that actually maple you used? The grain looked more like some kind of fur or other softwood. It shouldn't matter though.
