I just got done with this one and tried something new. Let me know what you think..
Aqua fortis was used on the base plug for the stain, then a coat of black primer then carded back and a coat of shellac was applied then carded back. Steel nails were used and filed down flush after driven in. I used a different kind of strap hold method on this one as well as a nice slender taper on the spout. I stained then decided to engrail and re-stained. I was initially going to sell this, but I think I’ll keep it... it’s kind of growing on me and fits around the right hand side of my fat little belly just perfectly! Thanks to all who look.
