Great stain color and your treenails look just right for size and color. Just to double check - the instructions call for drilling the treenails with a .55 bit but you used a a .025, is that correct? They sure look right.

Yes sir, 0.025 pin vice drill bit.  I did some test drills with a few different size drills before settling on this size.  I'm not sure where the 0.55 comes from as that might actually be bigger than the wood width itself. I don't know the exact date these instructions were written so I don't know what scaled bits the writer was referencing.  Always my advice, do testing on scrap pieces before settling on anything.
