LederRudi Report post Posted May 25, 2018 Very nice design, very nicely executed! And you definitely don't shy away from backgrounding! Background looks very even! What kind of backgrounder did you use? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I sanded the edges down to make sure everything was flush and the curves were smooth. Then I applied the dye to the edges and let them dry. I applied Gum Tragacanth and hand burnished the edges with a burnisher I made from a piece of deer antler. After it was smooth and dry I applied Supershene to seal it and give it a shine.

What kind of backgrounder did you use? Thank you very much! Yeah, sometimes I take my backgrounding a little too seriously and spend extra time trying to get it as perfect as I can even though it really doesn't make that big of a difference. But thanks for noticing! You made it worth it. I used the Craftool A 104 for all the backgrounding. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
