    Talking Sierra Persimmon-n-Acrylic

    Found some scrap stuff laying around....no, I never throw stuff away, and it is sometimes a good thing. Anyway, I had Eugene(ElMostro @ IAP) do some pouring for me awhile back(like a year-and-a-half ago...or more).... This piece of wood was a mostly bug eaten piece of Persimmon, and I guess he sat down under a shade tree with a pick and a air hose and had a good time(probably not).


    Not sure what I had used the other piece of this leftover chunk for, but I'm sure glad I kept this!!

    Bright Copper Sierra BP and a few minutes.....tada!







    And a close-up(or two)!








    With the darkness of the wood itself, you can't really get the feel for the finish with the exposure time I had to use....it just turns all ghosty on me. But at least you can see the grain! And the dust is on top of the finsih, not under it.....




    Thanks for looking!
