andyb Report post Posted March 9, 2012 Jose, That looks beautiful! I have to learn how to do something like that. About how long did it take you to do the carving and tooling on this strap? Andy B. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FOXERJOSE Report post Posted March 9, 2012 because the truth is I'm not very fast doing the carving, about 6 hours, not hard but be very patient. Thanks for your comment a greeting Jose Carballido Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouchmyfinger Report post Posted March 9, 2012 what was your finishing process for that, great color and finishing job. i was looking to get a color like that with this thing that I'm working on, maybe once the clearlac dries it will lighten up like it did with the first coat before the antique Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
