| | Re: stylized polar bear Nice! I agree the finish looks ivory. How did you do that? Is it a finish or the type of wood?

| | Re: stylized polar bear Neat! Thanks for the info. I did a base in black kind of like that one time, sanding endlessly, painting sanding, sealing, sanding. You're right, that sanding can get old. Makes a nice looking finish though. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
