I haven't been able to spend much time in the shop lately, but today I was able to get out and take a break from the hurricane effects we are having here.
I had a Zen kit sitting around for a while and was thinking about what type of wood to put with it. I found some ambrosia maple in a section of the shop. The finish is 8 coats of CA/BLO with a buffing with Novus 2.

Thanks for looking. Comments and review from the group is welcomed.

Still working on my photo taking skills.

Well done Kevin!! That would be a good candidate for a dye job if you ever wanted to go that way. On the other hand...that sure is pretty maple!
