Steve Good gnomes

I saw Steve's patterns for these when he posted them, but did not think of making any. 

But, now that I have seen the way that they worked out for you, I am going the make some for my (almost adult) grandchildren.  They will appeal to their senses of humour.

Well done!  I love the colours and the finish that you have chosen

HI

I would like to make more of the gnomes, I don't do enough staining to warrent buying all the minwax cans, could I use craft stains that come in the bottles?

Thanks

Bill

I don't see why not.  Regular paints would work just fine too, I just used stain because 1) I had a bunch left over from another project and b) it showed the grain a little better than paint.  Painting a piece and then wiping off most of the excess would work too, I would imagine.

Here is a photo of my rendition of Steve's gnomes:

I stained mine using several Saman water-based stain then sprayed them wit a couple of coats of rattle-can clear satin stuff.

Frank. -  Love the stains.  I only have a couple of colours of Saman stain.  On the shopping list for when ever this isolation is over.

Look great.

 

Thanks Don.  I have about 60% of the stains that they make and, frequently, mix them to get other colours.

The company is located in Quebec (Noranda, I think) and I have ordered directly from them.  So, you don't have to wait.
