Coloring Freak Sheds

[RockyDog]

Fellers, this weekend i tried out a new shed coloring trick i read about at MM. What do you guys think of this freaky shed? When i started it was white - hard white on the outside and slighty cracked on the inside. When i checked it out this morning i could not tell it from a brown other unless i looked closely at the cracks. No smell either.

its minwax stain mixed with black mud.

No dude, you are kidding. That had to be a fresh brown!

Thats AWESOME!

I guess that means I have to use those chalky sheds for my wifes lamp after all

[Elkhunter]

That looks great! Nice job and thanks for the recipe.

 

[RockyDog]

Hey Browtine, yes it was yours. Thanks alot for sharing it. Ive tried some others like potassium permanganate and the dirt and pitch method, and this one is better.

My taxidermist uses WATCO brand stain in dark walnut....I have used it on a few and they look real good

That is one awsome shed, it would be great to see that one on a wall with the whole deal...

I have a double main beamed bull like that on my wall, almost same formation.

Is that black mud from some place with a lot of organic soil, or from a black mineral type soil?
