I may be wrong but resist is used to resist antique from getting into the dyed parts of your work. dye is usually put on before the resist. Don Gonzales and Joe Meling have videos of how to use resist. Hope this helps.
Very nice! A local Tandy shop got me hooked as well. Gee, that's kinda expensive ain't it.. well, what if I knock 30% off for you? Good, now you'll need.................
Nice work. I just did one for an older guy (older than me). And I made it a bit big and left some space at the top to grip it. Works great. I have used the finger hole though, and that works fine as well. Would just preferr to not have a hole.
