-
Gotta hand it to ya Ed, that is amazing. Looks like wood..:) You must have a plastic to wood transformer.. hehe. Na really Ed those look very nice buddy and I won't ask you how you mangaged to do such a great job. Nice piece of work.. Gene
-
Thank's buddy and that's the effect that I was trying for and it's a Ancient Chinese secret hehe. some time involved but a cheaper version for the fella's who can't dish out the $$ for the real one's or not into woodworking. Ed
-
Oh and I'm thinking that when their fully cured the inclosed area of the grip and pump handle will be painted flat black to give some contrast between the two.Ed
-
Looks like realwood Ed, you did good. Are you talking about painting the stippled area black, or just the outline of the stippleing?
Mike
-
The stippled area Mike on the grip's and pump handle. I'm still eyeballing it in my mind's eye to see how it will look hehe. Ed
-
A real fine line to outline it might look good. The whole area may be too much.
Mike
-
Yes, I think your right buddy. Back to the shop with my superfine brush lol. Ed
-
Or if you have a color that looks like walnut, or something and do the hole area.
Mike
-
Hmmm, well it involved some mixing of color's to find what I liked and walnut is possable.:) Ed
-
It was just a thought, something lighter like cherry might look good to. Check your mail,hehe.
Mike
-
ok. Ed
-

Darn your good Ed !
You had me fooled until I read your Post !
I really was thinking that you were now making wooden grips and pump handles.
Now I know that there is no limit to your talent buddy, but hand checkered too ?
I'm thinkin, When did this all happen, but you know that Ed, he can do most anything he puts his mind too...
Good one Ed., But I wouldn't be surprised if next time if you were making wooden grips and for ends !
Great buddy !
-
WOW! Thats not real wood? Ya sure fooled me. Man, your good.
-
Thank's guy's, I'm going to get my hand's on some plastic or synthetic stock's and give em the wood treatment. Try some cherry, oak and different grain pattern's. Gotta expand ShadowCamoDesigns hehe. Jeff, can't wait to see your 1377 buddy.:) This painting stuff is kinda fun isn't it . Ed
-
