Zandit, I totally understand flip flopping on plans, did that for over a month or so on my SGD build before i settled on the DT burst.
I must say......going natural on that spalt..... is freakin' awesome.

Hey Franken it was probably a different meme from the same movie, don't worry mate it's all good to see anything funny or amusing !
@ Zandit I reckon your spalted cap is one of the best I've seen on a PBG kit. So glad you went natural. It's going to look sick when it's had all the final coats on and buttoned up !

Yeah I was very lucky with this one. I'll do a mini mock build tonight. I want to see the black hardware against the stain. Just to keep the action happening!
BTW....200 POSTS!!!! Not that anyone here is keeping track!!!

Hey Zandit the dark spalt lines will work very well with the black hardware. I built one of the first LP-1S axes and I did a clear top and looks the biz. It also won me my first GOTM, but back then there weren't many entries !
EDIT 200 posts you are on fire Zandit, keep boxing on mate ! Actually I just remembered I stained the top wudtone Burning sun (orange) and hot auburn back and sides

All crap talk and thread jacking aside, that outcome for your first build is absolutely killer. Your treatment of this has shown massive respect for the natural beauty of the veneer and it is an absolute winner. As Wokka has pointed out, once you get the black hardware against it for contrast it is going to look amazing. Sometimes less is more...Great Job!
