Stewart Report post Posted November 29, 2012 Just finishing this off. Just Waiting to see if to add color or leave like it is. Did use a philips head screwdriver to make the snow flakes that look like punch holes on it. Joe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beaverslayer Report post Posted November 29, 2012 Looks very nice Stewart, the snowflakes really add to the look. I'm a big fan of natural looking leather, so my vote goes to no color, maybe just some antique to bring out the carving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluesman Report post Posted November 29, 2012 Very good job. I would have to say you need to make another one. So you can color one and keep one plain. Another route would be to color and then antique which would wipe some of the paint off and give it a real old look. In any event nice Santa!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DoubleC Report post Posted November 29, 2012 Beautiful job. I can't make up my mind about it though Stewart so I do think you need two Cheryl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David8386 Report post Posted November 29, 2012 I vote natural with a little antique. But you do need more than one. It came out very nice Joe. David Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stewart Report post Posted November 30, 2012 Thanks all for the comments. The person it's going to wants it natural. Which i like also. Doing four more and problie paint it like the Voted coaster. Just enough to show a little color. I have never antiqued before, but i do have a few that did not go right. so i will pratice on them. Joe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josiah Report post Posted November 30, 2012 Try a torx instead of a Philips head for snowflakes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
