Going to make matching ones for his two sons as well. GREAT work on the color, This is the one I saw last night right? Sometimes color takes away from a carving, but this really added to it... I like it! What did you use for color? Quote
MADMAX22 Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 Thats very nice, I have to say the red over the black really is great looking. What did you use to make that background. (IM kind of new so) It looks really good. Quote

Sometimes color takes away from a carving, but this really added to it... I like it! What did you use for color? Yep, this is the one I showed you last night. Went home and went back to work on it Skull is natural, just sealed, background is basic red, border is basic black. Light coat of sealer over the red after it was dry, then a heavy coat of the black antique stain over the top...let dry a few minutes then hit the high spots with a damp rag. Quote

Members Spider Posted July 13, 2008 Members Report Posted July 13, 2008 Great Wristband. I love it. The backgrounder is awesome. I love this one too. Quote
TomSwede Posted July 13, 2008 Report Posted July 13, 2008 Darn good looking bracer. That backgrounder is excellent and addictive and lovely skull. I really like the crossed drumsticks as I just to play the drums a looooong time ago. Good work! Tom Quote
Members Pauly Posted July 13, 2008 Members Report Posted July 13, 2008 That looks unreal, I want one. Must get myself that backgrounding tool, been meaning to for about 2 years. The color really compliments the tooling. Quote
Members Dagr Posted July 19, 2008 Author Members Report Posted July 19, 2008 (edited) Ok, take 2 now that we're back ! Got the trio of wristbands done for all the birthday boys. Figured I should make some extensions for the smaller ones since they are going to grow out of them soon if I didn't. lol Edited July 19, 2008 by Dagr Quote
