I couldn't find any to match the grain. I have a super thin piece of the wood that I might be able to create a plug with. Thanks for the idea.

The wood you see there is in place of Plexiglas so it is the same thickness. Also the all clear buttons I used only come in snap-in models. So that top layer of wood is what is holding the buttons in place. I needed some way to lock everything together thus the screws.

Bravo dude! :cheers:
That lacewood box looks great. The turned bat-top is crazy.
Soon your house will be filled with boxes of arcade parts. ;)

Ah OK, I was wondering what changed, since the version with plexi top didn't have the screws visible.
Anyway, really cool result.

Here is my latest stick. Currently this has no art so it is open to whoever buys it or I get one done. Thanks to Donkey_Kong for fixing the pics for me. This one is real shiny so it was hard to get good pics.

That wood design was really unexpected. It really does not look like a toy.
