Colored up
« on: June 10, 2011, 08:07:14 PM »
Gave my set some color.. Set from early this season that sat in the woods for 1 season.. Thought I'd share some pics of the horns after I added color to them.

What did you use?

They look great.

I've tried shoe polish/wood stain/pitch and dirt/and have found my oil based paints and additives work better than most other things and is a lot cheaper than products advertised other places..

Hey Klick, those do look pretty good man. Your right , clicking on the pics helped alot. Are you using fine steel wool and going over it to show the highlights? Nice work!! I have found Oils to work best for me.

Those are looking real good Klick! You ever get that set scored with the other set you were showing earlier this season?
