    Those type of woods with a dark and light combination, like the zebra wood or spalted maple, generally work best with a natural or just very light tint. Anything too dark and you lose a lot of the contrast and definition.

    Yes, decided to go down this route instead of the red - which incidentally gives me an excuse to buy another kit to use the DT on. A red/black RD build perhaps... one build at a time though!

    Now just a matter of figuring out which natural finish to use. Tru-Oil is what I'm leaning towards, my only concern there is about getting too much of a yellow hue - that's something I really want to avoid. Any suggestions? Living in an apartment, even one with a balcony, rules out any spray-on products.
