I want to create a really good contrast on this pipe. I'd like to have some really dark lines and then a bright orangey tone. I don't want a pumpkin color but just a nice bright orange and have the dark brown/blackish to contrast it. I have read where you apply one color, let it dry and sand it out and then apply a second color but I am not very clear to the specifics involved.
How is that achieved?
Does it matter which color is applied first?
Is any heat used in the drying process?
How can I achieve a nice contrast?
I am open to all comments and even maybe a change of colors too.
Anyway heres my pipe. Someone said it looked like a "pregnant Peterson." LOL!
(a couple of the pics I dampened down the briar just to get a better look at the grain)
