Correct, no screw holes.
I didn't use a shear clamp, either. Seems unnecessary to me.
Filleted and taped inside, and taped outside. If it's good enough for
Pygmy, it's good enough for me.

I still think it would look fine if you put some nice wood plugs in the
screw holes and taped over them. Could be quite eye-catching, even.
