Horse sign

I haven't shared a file in a while so I thought I'd share this one. This was for a birthday present I asked for help with about a week ago. It's about 20" wide, finished in Japanese Brown and is hanging in his entry way right now.

Hope it gives someone some ideas...

I promise, I'll order from you next time I place an order! I haven't been in the shop much at all this year, and still have alot left from my last order.

I'd much rather give my money to someone I'm familiar with.

Hey Bill, with all your patina making talent, can you make a steelfx Japanese brown??? There are alot of people that prefer a more matte patina like this one. I get far more comments about yours, but still there is a strong market for this one, and I would love to have a one stop shop! I am still your number one fan, I just havent been in the shop at all for a couple of months as I have been busy with my other business. I am running low on all my patinas so I will be ordering again soon

Scratch - love the horse... I wonder if its true what they say about those big ole feet

Hi April~
Ron Young's 'Japanese Brown' is famous in the metal finishing & sculpting industries. I've never actually used it, but
I know it's very popular. As far as me making my own version of that...I seriously doubt it, but maybe I can talk to
the folks at SculpNouveau & become a dealer for it, so you can get all or most of what you need from one place..Me! ;0)

In the Very Near Future, you can try my Solvent Metal Dyes. Quick, Easy & Translucent, so you can see your steel polishing beneath the color. I'll attach a sample piece i tried with green & yellow. You can apply it with a brush, rag, sponge or air-brush for some really cool effects. No one i know of is doing their metal finishing with these dyes, so they've got real promise for setting your work apart.
