Really happy with how this one feels — so it’s time to finish these up and get them ready for the next shop drop.

Overall I’m pretty happy with it. The label looks a little funky / aged, so I think we’re gonna do another seal coat and then move on to the base and deep pour.Let me know what you think so far!
