upnorth Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Was asked to do a rod for Xmas gift for a vikings fan. Kind of a rush, but turned out pretty well. Just pulled it out of the dryer a little bit ago and did the last minute cleanup. 4 point star wrap with purple background and gold star, framed with white. Walnut handle and nickel inlay with a ship that kinda sorta looks like a Viking ship. Unfortunately my photo composition is not that artistic and I am still in a bit of a hurry as I need to deliver this thing this am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unfrozen Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Looks good upnorth! I like the handle. How do you finish your wooden handles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorth Posted December 24, 2010 Author Share Posted December 24, 2010 3 coats of spray spar varnish. I know some people use flex coat or the like, I figure wood=varnish or polyurethane.Thanks guys!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
