contest over, thanks for playing. winner is at the bottom.
First person to guess what color I dyed the micarta scales on my new Becker BK14 gets it. If more than one person guesses it I'll randomly pick from the names.
Rit dye from walmart. I used the pretreat product too. Soaked it about thirty minutes, rinsed, then soaked it in the dye. I think using a dye constitutes dying whoever said staining.
I think most micarta is laminated...these scales are not. Maybe that's why it was confusing to some people. I like the raw feel though. If someone knows how to achieve a smooth laminated feel id be interested...
The package said purple and in this pic it looks purple...
HOWEVER it looks very burgundy in person.
To keep it fun I am drawing 6 pieces of paper from a hat. Mg.mikael who guessed it just right gets 3 chances, jshirley gets 2, and that cheater kingpin008 gets 1. Will post up the winner in a sec
(by the way, it was still a little wet around the screws)
