Members wbrogdon Posted August 25, 2015 Members Report Posted August 25, 2015 Looks like a piece of wood. Quote
Members Windrider30 Posted August 25, 2015 Author Members Report Posted August 25, 2015 That is the look I am going for. Quote
Members Sticks2117 Posted August 25, 2015 Members Report Posted August 25, 2015 I like it!! That would make a nice looking quiver. Quote
Members Manypawz Posted August 25, 2015 Members Report Posted August 25, 2015 That's a lot of work! I like blending of deep cuts with the lighter cuts. Good job. Quote www.manypawz.com. http//www.etsy.com/people/manypaws1?ref=si_pr
Members Oldtoolsniper Posted August 25, 2015 Members Report Posted August 25, 2015 That going to look pretty cool as a bracer, it will look like you are wearing hollow logs. I want to see it when it's assembled and on an arm. What was the process you used and the dyes to get the look you have achieved. I talking colors , get the swivel knife part and beeline from the picture. Quote
Members Windrider30 Posted August 25, 2015 Author Members Report Posted August 25, 2015 I used a slightly damp spounge and tandy's Eco flow medium brown antiquie gel. Just covered the hell out of the piece, then took a second spongue and hit the whole piece with water to get all the extra dye off until I was happy with the color turned out pretty good, and I will finish this piece today, think I will just use the old eyelites and lace to close the bracer off. As for the process to get the design its a craft-aid from Tandy, the craft aid actualy has two other textures on it, bought it really just for the wood textrue. I enjoy using the anquites on this project figured it would really get deep into the lines. by the by thinking of using that texture for a messenger bag what you all think? Quote
Members Oldtoolsniper Posted August 26, 2015 Members Report Posted August 26, 2015 Thanks for sharing how you did it. A wooden bag? Barn board leather works. Quote
