Something very different for me. The story: A highly figured Maple bottle air brushed multi-colored dye with 3 legs. Someone knocked it off my display shelf at an art show. I watched in horror as it bounced like a golf ball across the blacktop. The legs were mangled with many deep gouges and scratches. And the top was broken off.:eek::eek::eek::mad::mad::mad: I sucked it up and carried on.:(:( It has been on my bench since last summer while I tried to figure out how to "fix" it. I just couldn't figure out how to fix the gouges and make everything disappear. I have been experimenting with airbrushing paint. The idea came to me.:D I turned a pedestal, filled in the scratches and gouges, glued the top back on, and sanded it down on the lathe to remove the wax and finish. I attached the pedestal and shot primer and several coats of black. I airbrushed lightning after watching Ed Hobbs video on YouTube. IMHO I have a long way to go. End of Story.
Sorry about photo, I have no idea where the brown spot came from. A help on correcting the spots would be greatly appreciated.
Comments and critique welcome as always.
Air brushers please give me some tips.
