A door

[Ultra Al]

This was a change of pace for me. The wife wanted a door that would let some light in so naturally I had to pinstripe it. It started out as a piece of unfinished mahogony. They were all done free hand with 1 shot metallic gold. The wife liked it and when shes happy, I'm happy. Thanks for looking. AL

very nice work Al
you might wll start a trend in your area and end up doing alot of those doors

that looks a lot like stained-glass,have you thought about giving the windows the same treatment?

That stained illusion is the artwork on my beer fridge that the door is leaning against, lol. We talked about staining the glass and there is a paint available to do that but my wife wants to let as much morning sunshine in as possible. AL

I were referring to the pin-stripe which remained me of the cane that is use on stained-glass, at a distance

Bray, Ok now I got ya. This may be a work in progeress. Im thinking about just rubbing some metalic gold on the black metal in the glass to give it kind of a gold patina look, kinda like a bronze effect. DOnt know if Ill ever do another one they are hard to wrestle around, after struggling for a half hour my wife figured out the new door hinges I bought were wrong (2 male hinges) but we finally got it installed today. Another tip, if you ever do one put down a tack coat of spar varnish first. Even stained, the wood sucks up the 1Shot. I had to go over the lines about three times! Also pinstriping metallic gold over wood grain is a whole 'nother ball game form striping sheet metal, but it was fun and now I have a 1of a kind door. AL

you are so right ,doors can be heavy and hard to hang back up, I use a crow bar to raise the door

Al,
Looks great! Recoating One-Shot is time consuming. I like that style you did.
Doors are very heavy. The cool thing is you didn't hurt the striping hanging the door.
Beautiful work.
