Re: My first attempt at stippling

Looks pretty darn good man. I stipple my own as well. I don't use a dimple style that deep. I go very shallow and mix in some slight swipes here and there. In the end it feels like sandpaper and almost looks factory.
 
Re: My first attempt at stippling

Thanks man. They are not as deep as it looks in the picture but still plenty aggressive. Not so much so that it hurts shooting without gloves but enough that it ain't going anywhere.

Soldering iron?</div></div>

I'm betting a wood burning tip sharpened to a nice point.
 
Re: My first attempt at stippling

Wow it looks really good. I read a article in a magazine a few months ago that talked about how to do this. Good job!
 
Re: My first attempt at stippling

Looks good. I never could get into the dots, just take way too much time for my liking but it does look good when done right.
 
Re: My first attempt at stippling

Looks better than some of the places that do it for cash, honestly.

May have to work something out so you can do one of mine!
