Hey Guys! well I am one to try something new when it comes to knife making, and being creative. So a while back I started the demon knife project and got stumped by what to use for a handle....after going to youtube U and doing searches on engraving, well naturally you get those other videos that talk about some thing else...I came across this guy that carves walking sticks, and MAN what a artist. Naturally my mind went to hmmmm I wonder if I could do something like that. so I grabbed a piece of dowel and started cutting out a snake shape ishhhh here is what it looked like at the start .... https://www.dropshots.com/ppatenaude/date/2016-12-10/12:21:51 after some sanding and more shaping I traced some reference line in order to try and get it more realistic https://www.dropshots.com/ppatenaude/date/2016-12-10/17:56:51 After more sanding and dremeling ....lots of it I got this result... https://www.dropshots.com/ppatenaude/date/2016-12-10/19:19:42 https://www.dropshots.com/ppatenaude/date/2016-12-10/19:23:33 Finally I added some color to it...Hope you guys like it....mind you I still want to add something for the eyes... comments and criticism always welcome. https://www.dropshots.com/ppatenaude/date/2016-12-10/20:55:25
seriously I suck at airbrushing....got a kit but that the extent of it... would love to learn how to do effects and shadowing ...
Well, I did help teach the airbrushing course at Mohawk for a few semesters, so I could probably help you out with that...
