Thread: Stained my Bucky

Tweet

We finally got around to staining our Bucky today. We purchased Min-Wax walnut stain. I didn't get the gel based version on the theory that the regular stain would flow into the cracks better and it turned out to do just that. With a foam brush and a few paintbrushes my wife, daughter and I had him all stained in less than an hour. We put down a drop cloth to catch the mess. Doing a few tests and messing with the color we decided to not wipe off the stain. We just left it on and let it dry. The color looks great and it's shiny so he looks quite juicy...



If I were to do another one I'd probably using mahogany instead of walnut for a slightly redder texture but he still looks good.

he would look so great with cob webs!

Nice to hear your family likes to help : )

Very nice. It's cool that your family gets involved. My wife thinks I'm nuts (she's right). My daughter just turned one so I've got time to win her over to my side!

I'm assuming you have more than one daughter because the one pictured is not one! lol

Hey Kid,
I'm willing to bet that the child in Opentrackracers photo is his, not fear Inc.s.

really nice!!

That is way cool.........great job!!!!!!

Nice job on the bucky. Looks like you might have a future haunter there too. She looks like she's enjoying herself. Good job.

Thanks for all the comments. He turned out quite nice. He'll be residing in the graveyard in a toe pincher coffin that has a lid that opens and closes. Should be great!

My daughter is loving Halloween. She was excited last year and this year it's off the charts.

Looks great! He looks very similar to the bucky I stained this year - I used Minwax Gel Stain in the Aged Oak color, and I also didn't wipe it off. LOVE the look! I can't wait to see yours in the pincher!
