    Default First for the new year

    Happy New Year All.

    Here are the first of many (hopefully) for 2014.

    First up is a Chrome Slimline in Hakea finished in a hundred million coats of CA, Ok maybe not quire a 100,000,000 coats but sure as hell felt like it.

    Second is a Gold Sierra Stylus in Green dyed Box Elder Burl finished in CA. To get the green I just used one of the translucent dyes I have for casting to colour.

    Thanks for looking.

    Cheers


    Shawn

    MIK,

    It is just one I purchased from Barnes...translucent green dye that is used for casting etc.
    I also have a blue that I will be trying tomorrow.

    Cheers

    thanks for the info Shawn

    a couple more questions please

    does it take long to dry???

    does it bleed into the finish???

    i use shellac to seal my arrows after they are stained, i am guessing it should work well though

    thanks again

    does it bleed into the finish??? Not that I noticed, but the CA did remove some of it.

    i use shellac to seal my arrows after they are stained, i am guessing it should work well though I havent used shellac so cant say for sure.

    thanks again
