    Liking the burgundy in centre of the pieces nearest to camera the colour makes grain pop

    I'm on the fence with this one, try a burgundy / teal burst on some scrap wood!

    awesome grain Tony, where is this kit from ? I love the 4 or 5 blue lines of binding, its a really classy look.
    Have you stained some similar flamed maple pieces where are they from ?

    I think any colour will look amazing on that cap, but agree try a burst
