Hey! That is my job.

"I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like me. People find me interesting."

My sister has a tumblr blog I really like their set up and customization. It also comes with a phone in ability so you can do voice blogs as well!

You will. Oh yes. You will.

I give up. It was me. Mua ha ha ha ha.....

Thank you Rumba for the goody bag! Had a great time with each individual package.

Googling a couple of other references discussed the need to do this technique after the wood was already sealed in someway. The cut was supposed to open up only the area you wanted the dye/dust to stick. I actually kind of like how the stock looks as a whole now, so I'm going to leave it with just the incised, sealed pattern. I think I will try to partially seal a chunk of my scrap walnut and then try the true oil idea.

It actually pulls it right out of the cut, I can see it on my rag. I've got some ideas to try later and will let you know how it turns out.

I was doing a single cut. The stock is walnut and I was filling with a really light blue sawdust, the sealant is clear.

I tried this on a partially sealed gunstock. However each time I went to seal over the design all the powder flushed out. I'm not displeased with the result, more of a tone on tone look, though it isn't what I was trying for. Have you tried this with sealant or just with the oil? I might try it again with some True oil first and see if that helps....

I'm guessing that's a full auto weapon. Oh and grease guns are fun. :)

What is this? An exposed birthday?!

Ah yes. I did get a package on Friday...

Oh no! I wouldn't say that! I don't go out for name calling, you know that...

Ah the first lol of the day.

Patrick, I got the ditty bag. It was and is still awesome. I use it to carry all of my more period games. Cards, dice, bones, etc. I love it. And it made me a bit embarrassed for what I'd sent out that year. Rumba, good luck running the show this year. I had a blast doing it last year, with nary a problem to be seen. :)

The museum was closed when I was there, but the fort is pretty neat. As far as I can tell it is intended to be self guided, but there are locals who will usher you around, give a little talk and demand a tip. When the cruise ships are in port, the cannons at the fort are aimed right at them. That entertained me no end. :)

That's the one Mission. For the poll thingy... Mostly I stole it and made it better. At least I think so.

"You come all this way without saying squat and now your trying to tell me that a '56 Chevy could beat a '48 Buick in a dead quarter mile?"

ha Anchor Man. I am a god walking amongst mere mortals.

More beer! More beer! More beer!... and a DeathRay! More beer!

Well, all of those options might let someone else use your card...
