You'll be fine boring material out of your wood. Try to put yourself in a position where you don't have to make a through-hole in the wood. That will come off better to the inspectors.

Last year we had so many bolt heads sticking our of our chassis that we had to drill half-way through our plywood in order to allow the plywood to sit flush with the chassis metal.
