Final Work…
Giving it the “well used” look…
After attaching the stock, I wasn’t really happy with the way the “metal” ring parts looked. So, I masked off the surrounding areas…
And applied more ebony “Rub ‘n Buff”, this time with a bit more silver added in. I also made a point to try and apply it in streaks to try and simulate the machining of this part…
Here’s the result after being buffed with a cotton rag. I think that looks MUCH better, and more uniform as well…
