That is a really cool wrap!!!!! I love it! Way to go, I've never seen anyone do these groove wraps like you do. ;D The patina looks very light. I use the gel kind and let it go black then use 0000 steel wool to take it off the high spots. I also use this www.riogrande.com/Product/Brass-Wire-Bristle-Brush/113172?pos=1 to go over it again. It buffs it to a shine and gets into the tight spots. Then I polish with a cloth. |

In the winter time you could go into the snow shoe business. Beautiful wrap, cool design.
