Dec 17, 2012 Thread starter #49 hig789 Here it is polished and minus the knot. Need to paint the inside and put it in line for a knot.

Dec 22, 2012 Thread starter #54 hig789 I try to leave the original paint in the hole. But sometimes it doesn't work out, I haven't found a good way to do it to make it as black as the original paint. Next time I am going to try and tint the epoxy before I set the knot.

Dec 29, 2012 Thread starter #57 hig789 Here's the next ones. I forgot to take a good before picture and this is the best one I have. It's a Kingsley- made in west Germany. I took the lettering off because you could hardly read it anyways and I think it looks much better without it.
