Spalted LP, my first kit build.

Man, oh man. I'm shuddering with jealousy over here, mate.

That spalt is simply gorgeous. So darn lucky. I reckon it would look killer with just a really deep natural finish, to bring that incredible grain right out. I'd hate to see it get lost amongst too much colour. But, as with all builds, it's a very personal experience, and I'm sure whatever you choose will turn out awesome. Keen to see this beauty progress.

Thanks mate! I'm hearing you, and I have similar reservations and don't want to stuff it up. But as much as I like the natural finish kits I've seen, it's just not really me. Hopefully I can do it justice without losing the beauty of the wood.

Mate, with time, care and effort, you'll create an amazing, personal axe to be proud of for many years. The operative words there are "time, care and effort" though. Don't forget them.

As I said before, really keen to see this baby grow.
