Popular Post new2woodwrk Posted December 6, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) We do our best to talk customers out of coloring our products simply because what they envision and what the wood will take are often 2 different things. Water items, no problem since we do lots of them. Green pasture, no problem we do lots of them. However once in awhile we get an "unshakeable" customer and no matter what we say, they are adamant in their color scheme... This then is one of those customers. The "Matt Pan" shadow with Bronze hooks - all black except for the feather! It took 2 different stains to get the "purest" black we could... Thanks in advance for looking..

RabidAlien Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 Nicely cut! Coloring doesn't look all that bad, considering some of the "color schemes" I've seen requested. new2woodwrk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barb.j.enders Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 Looks good. Instead of stain, I would have used an acrylic paint. John B, Roberta Moreton and new2woodwrk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie E Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 Great job! I see what you're saying but I also think it turned out looking nice. Just a silhouette of Peter with a splash of color. Looks cool to me. Also kind of symbolic, since Peter met Wendy while looking for his shadow. new2woodwrk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdatelle Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 Looks good Jes. Not quite sure about the feather. I might of left it all black but that's only opinion. new2woodwrk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 Turned out great to my eyes... I love just a splash of color in just the right place.. Great job. new2woodwrk and John B 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that went through my mind for an instant but I'm not a fan of painting my stuff and would have been stuck with a glob of paint left over LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyred Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 Looks good to me. The best black "stain" I've found is India ink. Tom new2woodwrk and RabidAlien 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaughn Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 I would have chosen differently but "Nothing quite so curious as folks." You did a nice job with it! new2woodwrk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a true, ebony like black, India ink is the ticket. Cheap and, easy. But not found on a street corner. new2woodwrk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goat Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 I use minwax true black stain. It works great and can be found easily at most stores. new2woodwrk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) I like it just as it is! The red accent really makes it. Most of the ornaments I sell are natural BB occasionally one calls for a bit of color. This is an example of one of my most popular ornaments. I believe it is a BJ Holm design, cut from 1.5mm ply (~1/16") We call it Happy Dog. Edited January 15, 2023 by Rolf new2woodwrk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
