The AUG | Spalted Wood (Minimal Wear) shows the same dried-wood texture just past its sharpest Factory New state. It's a common pick for players who want the grain looking nearly flawless without paying the top price.

Design

The finish uses a hydrographic pattern resembling dried, spalted wood, a subdued natural look designed by Valve. It carries the flavor text: "Knock on wood; you're gonna need all the luck you can get - Felix Riley, Commanding Officer."

AUG | Spalted Wood (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

Within the Spalted Wood's 0.00–0.48 float range, Minimal Wear falls just above the Factory New floor. The grain still looks fine and detailed at this grade, with only the faintest wear visible on close inspection.

AUG | Spalted Wood Rarity

This is an Industrial Grade finish — the light blue tier, sitting just above the common Consumer Grade and below Mil-Spec, Restricted, Classified, and Covert. It's a low-key, accessible rarity.

AUG | Spalted Wood Case and Collection

The Spalted Wood belongs to The 2021 Dust 2 Collection, tied to Operation Riptide's September 2021 launch. No case is attached to it; copies come from map-collection drops, trade-ups built from other Dust 2 Collection skins, or the market.

AUG | Spalted Wood Patterns

There's no random variation to the wood grain — the texture is identical on every copy, so hunting for a rare paint seed here is pointless. Only wear grade and float separate one copy from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

No StatTrak version exists for this finish. A Souvenir edition does, first issued in the Stockholm 2021 Dust II Souvenir Package and continued in later Major souvenir packages, existing alongside the standard finish available here.

AUG | Spalted Wood Price

Minimal Wear sits just under Factory New in cost while keeping nearly the same appearance. The finish stays in the budget tier at this grade too, so the price gap is minor. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How different does Minimal Wear look from Factory New?

Barely different. Both sit near the bottom of the Spalted Wood's float range, so the grain pattern looks almost identical between them. Minimal Wear usually costs a touch less, making it the practical choice for most buyers.

Why doesn't the Spalted Wood have a StatTrak version?

Not every collection finish gets one, and this skin simply wasn't issued with a StatTrak edition. It does have a Souvenir version, first seen in the Stockholm 2021 Dust II Souvenir Package, as an alternative collectible route.

Is the AUG | Spalted Wood a cheap skin overall?

Yes, it sits in the budget tier across every wear grade, including Minimal Wear. That makes it an easy pickup for players who like the natural wood-grain look without spending much.
