New Haft Finish???

That's how I took it, vec... sounds like the ABS pipe w/caps is a 'container' to put the stick inside, and the 'container' is then filled with the oil...

Clever idea, '5'!!!

- of the Acrylic Matte Finish, ya mean, brother glock?

maybe this'll do - all these multicams are painted the same, but the ones on the ends have an additional Matte Acrylic top coat - even the camera shows the color gradations a lot more - i suspect IR spectrum might be mitigated as well...:cool:....

the matte acrylic will make your colors pop, but without shine.

almost perfect results, and idiot proof to boot.


HTH.

OK, I sanded the 'walking staff', and that exposed just a tad of the really light-colored wood grain... so it is a tri-colored wood now (white, brown and charcoal)...

Then I added the semi-gloss poly, the whole 11 ounce can, just like with the satin I used first...

I will post a picture ASAP, it looks INTERESTING!!!
 
Just took the picture... gotta put it in 'Photobucket' first...
Look again here within the hour!!!
 
OK, 3 pictures...
The first 2 have been shown already, but will be shown here for ease of viewing...
BTW, I learned a lot from doing this!!! I can't wait to try it on a hawk haft next!!!

Picture #3 (taken in direct sunlight) shows a section of the 'Walking Staff' before the 'Charcoal Wash' staining, and a section after the 'Charcoal Wash' staining, applying 4 coats of satin poly, sanding and applying another 4 coats of semi-gloss poly... you can see the tri-coloring of the wood quite well in this picture...

This 'walking staff' is 1" diameter, and it is 5 feet long.

It is tri-colored, and should be 100% water-proof...

Total cost involved: less than $15.00
