AUG | Spalted Wood (Factory New)

The AUG | Spalted Wood (Factory New) is an Industrial Grade rifle skin finished in a hydrographic pattern that mimics dried, spalted wood grain. Factory New shows that grain at its sharpest, before any float dulls the texture.

Design

Valve built this finish around a hydrographic wood-grain texture, a natural, understated look rather than a bold graphic. It carries the flavor line: "Knock on wood; you're gonna need all the luck you can get - Felix Riley, Commanding Officer."

AUG | Spalted Wood (Factory New) Float and Wear

The Spalted Wood's float runs from 0.00 to 0.48, and Factory New sits right at the bottom of that band. At this grade the wood grain reads with fine, crisp detail and no surface scuffing to interrupt it.

AUG | Spalted Wood Rarity

Rarity: Industrial Grade — the light blue tier, one step above the common Consumer Grade and below Mil-Spec, Restricted, Classified, and Covert. It's a modest, accessible rarity.

AUG | Spalted Wood Case and Collection

This finish is part of The 2021 Dust 2 Collection, which arrived with Operation Riptide in September 2021. There's no weapon case tied to it — copies come from map-collection drops, trade-up contracts using other Dust 2 Collection skins, or a direct market purchase.

AUG | Spalted Wood Patterns

The wood-grain texture is fixed on every copy — no paint seed changes how the grain lines run, so there's no "blue gem" variant to chase here. Wear and float are what separate one copy from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

There's no StatTrak version of the AUG | Spalted Wood. It does exist as a Souvenir finish, first handed out in the Stockholm 2021 Dust II Souvenir Package, with later Major souvenir packages adding more copies over time, alongside the regular version sold here.

Factory New sits at the top of the Spalted Wood's own price ladder, reflecting the cleanest view of the wood grain. The finish overall lands in the budget bracket for the AUG, keeping even the top grade affordable. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New worth it on the Spalted Wood?

Since this finish sits in the budget tier throughout, the cost gap between grades is small, so Factory New is an easy way to get the wood-grain texture at its sharpest without paying much more than Minimal Wear.

Does the AUG | Spalted Wood have a Souvenir version?

Yes. Souvenir copies first appeared in the Stockholm 2021 Dust II Souvenir Package, with later Major souvenir packages adding more since. That Souvenir tag exists alongside the regular finish, but there's no StatTrak edition of this skin.

What are the best gloves for the AUG | Spalted Wood?

The natural wood-grain palette pairs well with earthy tones, so the best AUG Spalted Wood glove combo leans on brown or tan gloves that echo the texture. A darker, muted pair also works if you'd rather keep the loadout low-key.
