Shoulders on mantle. 12oz saddle skirting, dyed with Fiebing's tan, finished with Fiebing's Super Shene spray.

Great work! Can you explain how you got that finish? How and what dye you used and the final finish? I really like that look. Thanks.

I was wondering the same thing! It looks more like mahogony or red with a dark antique finish than brown. I love it! It looks great!

Three coats of Fiebing's Tan applied with a dauber in a circular motion, last coat left to pool on the surface a little, then buffed with a neatsfoot-impregnated rag and sealed with Fiebing's Super Shene.

Thanks, I wouldnt mind trying that effect sometime.

Is that Tan dye? It looks more reddish rather than tan.

It is definitely tan.

A very nice looking job. Any plans to make more of this style until you have a full panoply ?

Are the side sections wet moulded to keep thier shape?
