Stewart Report post Posted January 19, 2011 I was wondering if any one has done a backgrouhd of tree growth rings.. I am doing a kooler with cats and birds on a limb + name in middle. i woulld like the background to be a plank board or groth rings centerd going out to the sides. the only stain will be neetsfoot oil. Not secure about stains yet. Any help ? Thanks I have an idea but when they come up the cat starts trying to bury it. Joe Stewart Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stewart Report post Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) Well I solved this one problem and it looks good. I also found a new invention-Tracing paper-They must have just come out with it. What i did was google pictures of wood grains-found one i wanted print shoped to size than traced. Not on the drafting paper but transfer paper. used stylus to go over leaving carved ares open. Than went over the lines on leather with swivel knife. Bamm !!! to me looks good. completes the theme of project. will show later. Well they do say I am behind times. got to go and burn out the outhouse. Where the gas Hon????
