carved snipe "antique" before pictures - 08/11/15 05:59 PM
When I started carving this snipe, a knot in the head fell out. I decided then to leave the knot out and try my hand at a "fake antique" style. So anyway, here are the "before" pictures. In a couple weeks when this paint has had a chance to cure a little bit, I'll beat it up. Shoot it. Rust the nail. Scratch it up. Make it look nice and old, or at least try to.
The nail and the dowel are not glued in, for easier transportation in the field.
