A Pair of Colts II

[Dak0ta52]

I decided to do an easier project. This is a Steve Good pattern cut from 1/4 Pine with 1/4 Oak as the backer. The front was stained with Natural and the Oak was stained with Red Oak Minwax. Just the pine was finished with a clear gloss. I did touch the bullet holes in the backer board with a torch to give them a black char on the edges. I used Pegas #2/0 MGT blades. It was fun getting away from spirals for a project that I could use straight blades. I believe it was John that said my last "Pair of Colts" was click bait. I promised I would make it correct.

that is a great plaque. You handled it superbly. I don't think it could be done any better than you did this one, by anyone.  I simply love this project

Love it Rodney.

Well done mate
Using a torch gives the bullet holes a real nice look.
I believe it's 4 clicks C-O-L-T.

I am a great fan of a western motif, and you really represent it well!

Thanks Ralph. The area I live in is big on horses and western activity. I set up a booth a couple weekends back that was at a weekend trail ride. There were probably 500+ horses at that event. My sales didn't go well but I got a few commissions. I did get a better idea of what the people in that area were looking for. The area has a lot of indian heritage so I'm going to try to focus some attention on that.
