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

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.
