I did wood finishing in a custom shop for three years. Was enlisted as a builder's helper as well.
One big tip I learned was car bondo. It's very stable, but won't stain well. If you buy some markers made to repair furniture you can paint the grain and completely hide the repair area. The bondo wont shift over time and water won't affect it either. If you ever have wood you intend to paint, bondo will close out the grain and greatly reduce your prep time for the paint as well. Just remember you have to sand 99% off. So don't go ape s*it with it. I like your work. It would be nice to see your efforts prior to glue up.
