Dave's Tug-Boat Project #1




I used heavy grit sandpaper that’s used in a floor sander and a wire brush to create heaver grain in the deck. I glued the haul together and dragged the heavy sandpaper from stem to stern to create an open grain like in old weathered wood. I made heaver groves in the haul by dragging an x-Acto saw sideways down the haul. Then used a soft wire brush to remove all the fuzzes from the plastic.
