Build Your Own Prestige - Block 498

Didn't expect the block they picked for me to have so much character, but the tight figuring near the corner really shows once I put lacquer on it. Took a couple weeks to arrive since they build each one to order, but it was worth the wait.

The grain on my block came out way nicer than I expected, and the color really popped once I brushed on a coat of lacquer. Build took some patience since a couple of the pieces failed along the way, but that's just how it goes with these. Sitting on my shelf now and I keep picking it up.

Mine arrived with a small chip on one corner, but honestly it just adds character to the block. Applying lacquer is what really wakes the color up, so don't skip that step.
