Well that's turned a somewhat basic (although not usual) shape into something much more interesting. Not quite "the full Mike Grant" but who'd else have a go at a natural wood finish in a blitz! Lovely result.

Impressive work on what is a pretty basic kit. The wood grain effect is excellent. 8-)

Fantastic result, even more so for being a Blitz
Best wishes
