OK,
Let's see if I can handle this one with
a more careful hand.
This is Overdrive. Shiftys brother.
This is Ed Roth meet Coco Joe.
It is a hot rod project after all.

Since I'm cool & current [thank you] I figured I'd
better post something & it better be good.
2 days of no carving because of the hurricane.
Carving's an outside event for me.
Here's progress on Overdrive the shift knob.
I still have a lot of wood to knock off this thing.

These lil guys were going quick,
until this one came along.
It's not done so this is an update.
Also I gave shifty the black glaze treatment.
Can ya tell?.
Really, it's isn't some thing you see.
It just makes it look better.

Hmmm...black glaze treatment huh? I'll have to Google that. Does it work on hardwood?

Yes Will, inquiring minds must know what the magic black glaze is. Crushed black obsidian from Argentina? Sacred tar from the LaBrea pits?? Essence of black truffle from France??? Whatever, it makes a big difference, nice work!

OK boys,
Hear comes the secret of the
black glaze treatment.
First you seal your carving
with poly or paint.
Then buy glaze mix at home depo.
Mix with your color black.
Paint it all over, let it dry some.
Then wipe it off as you please.
The black left in the cracks & folds
will make the detail pop.
It's a kin to burning for contrast,
but more controllable & less Neanderthal.
