Winter sucks

[Northfield]

The relentless snow, wind and sub zero temps have really messed with time in the shop. The cases arrived this past week right after another snow storm with temps hovering around -5 degrees. That was a joy to unload and move.





There were a couple of questions about color differences.

This one has a Tobbaco/Dark burst.



This one has a Shishkov Jazz burst. It is kind of hard to tell in the picture but it is lighter and more subtle than the traditional Jazz burst/ TSB.





This is Vintage Natural



A 59 burst and a couple of other very cool colors are in the next few to be sprayed.

Assembly time

Whoa! Love how the closeups don't spoil the reveal of the first completed pieces.

Am I correct in understanding that Jazzburst= less amber/yellow in the center than TSB?

I won't be posting any full pics of your completed Ultimates until after you guys open your case . Don't want to spoil the moment for anyone.

the Shishkov Jazzburst has a more subtle / narrower burst around the edge and has a burst on the back and neck.

Even the backs are gorgeous!

I really like the vintage natural.

I like that the binding appears to look slightly amber and not a bright white.

It contrasts with the top Real Nice.

yes, I agree... IMHO some of the natural hamers I've seen (90's, 00's etc) were too clear and it seemed

to wash out the figure of the top... this shade looks good.

Yeah exactly ^^^^^^

The tint in the clear coat gives it a pre-aged look while bringing out the grain.
