Nitto Ma.K Maschinen Krieger SF3D Raccoon

The post is part basswood, part balsa.

Woodgrain on the sign is just a few passes of 180 grit sandpaper!

Thanks, Ian! That sandpaper trick worked very well. I thought you had used the method of laying down the base and then using oils and a still brush to go back over and lay down a grain pattern. Your method is easier!

My method was purely experimental too! I just sanded and them added a couple washes and it came out like that.

I'm calling this done!
