Hello all.
After spending a few days with Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs the kit has arrived and we've had a look and a bit of a dry run. The wood is so beautiful that I'm going to just go with a natural finish, I'll report back when there's news. Or when something disastrous happens, whichever is sooner...

Awesome Henry. I got one of these in the pile to build. Aren't they a great looking kit. The fret inlays blew me away. Will be watching your build with interest. Natural should look fantastic
That looks Great Henry , take your time and have fun
great looking kit, looking forward to your build thread
Beautiful kit Henry. I do love a nice ES-3 (175). You've got some awesome grain on the top there. She is going to be a beautiful axe when you are finished!
chers,
Gav.
Nice looking kit Henry. Should be great fun building this beauty.
That grain is drool worthy!
Going with Dingotone clear should still keep it a ripper of an axe, can't wait to see the finished product!
Cheers Keloooe. Can't get the Dingotone here in South Wales but luckily Wudtone are twenty miles away! I like the grain more every time I look at it.
Ah yes, got my locations a bit muddled up!
Go with the Wudtone, I have used it twice and the results are stunning!
Order went in yesterday, should have it later this week. Better get sanding.
Sanding. Sanding and then sanding some more....Attachment 2815

Finished but for the set up tweaks. I'm pretty pleased with it for a first attempt!
That looks awesome Henry! Can't wait to hear it..
Great job Henry.
that escalated quickly...
nice job, very classic
looks great Henry, so you just applied wudtone clear coats over the whole axe ?
Thanks all, yeah I decided to go all natural and keep the grain showing, first one needs to be kept simple I always think. RC1 on order, that will be a more colourful affair. ..
Now that you've had it finished for a couple months and hopefully had time to play it a bit, are you happy with the sound/playability? Any things you would have done differently on the build? Any chance of an audio clip? I'm really curious to hear one in action before I pull the trigger on buying the kit.
I wish i'd have thought of that!Quote:
