The clip sounds really good for what it is. I'd love one of these to do something a bit Grand Magus-style.

Im going to first bleach the wood to get it whiter then im going to go over it with danish oil then have a wax finish thats possibly tinted emerald green.

I was originally going to stain it but can't find any good colours over here.

Ive just done some experimenting with some oil and its not too fantastic so far



I think im going to sand it back down and stain it black then sand it down again so its just in the grain then go over it with a transparent ocean blue or emerald green.
