Post by: klickriverchromer on May 28, 2011, 09:36:40 PM

I've taken up a new hobbie with my sheds.. Atleast the bigger ones I intend to keep and use.. Repairing and coloring.. Still have a few more minutes to spend on this one, but you get the idea.  A before and after photos

I use horn stain ...can only get it from a taxidermy supplier.. you can make them dark or light ... it takes practice to make them look good ... my buddy about sheet when he saw those ... they were his grandfathers from early 1900 .....
