Default Create a granite look to your basses
I have a process to give a good granite look to your bases. I have posted the complete instructions on my web page.


I think you will like the results you get after just a little effort. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to email me or comment here.

Great looking base. I tried one earlier this year but only used one color - resulted in so so looking base or a bird. I bookmarked the tutorial as well.

Thanks
