"Grain Stain"

The side of the paddles really stained nicely and exposed well after much sanding, rubbing with felt and the final application of Tung oil.


Good to be finished the project started almost three weeks ago. I achieved the burnt look of the wood with dark tips and fairly much got what I set out to achieve.I could have stained a bit different but originally I put it on thick and had to sand lots off and didn't really want to mess with it any more after all it is a paddle, a propulsion device. I think Gullfeather will be happy though. I am!
