Hi Mark:
Back in the day, I had to learn how to dry point etchings for a course in Graphic Arts Design. This was done on a steel block that was type high so that one could print copies on an early 19th century platen press. I have not thought about doing a dry point engraving until I saw your work! Great job!
Another question. How did you get that nice glow to the stock in the picture?
I am working on a stock that has great grain and I just applied a coat of stain. The stock has a dull finish to it but my wife thinks that I should leave it this way but I would like to add some "glow" to the wood. I do not want to add gloss!How can I add a finish that will glow and yet protect the stock?
I have tried about 8 types of finishes but they all came out too glossy! Yes. I can cut the gloss with steel wool or a rubbing material but I was not able to get that glow that is on the gun that you have in the picture. Any suggestions?
Stay well,
Franchi
