First time stippling

[KestrelBike]

haha that's some aggressive grip! Sandpaper ought to make those ready to rock. I like the striations!

Second pattern looks like some of the clothes I had as a kid in the 1980's.

Cool beans Mason! I'll take ten. You have one hour. Time starts 20 minutes ago.

But seriously, that's pretty neat man.

I'm digging the pattern you have going on the second one. Haven't seen anything like it before. Looking good.

Try one with circles getting progressively bigger. Circles start in the center of each low area (same spots you are stippling now). I haven't done it but think it would look good. I imagine it being like the coil on a car cigarette lighter.

That second pattern looks good!

I might have to take a crack at this now. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the kind words y'all. I'm pretty confident the second dot-style one that I do will come out much better than the first, now that I have an idea of the right pressure and spacing and such. I'm thinking for the next mag, I'll reverse the tip I'm using so the flat side is down and try for a fish scale type pattern. Not sure if it'll work. I also want to do one with a "tree bark" looking pattern, but I haven't figured out how yet.

Sooo.... like a spiral? I can do that.

Pretty cool. Would it be better to stipple the raised areas instead of the recesses?

I thought about that, but I'm worried it'd make it too difficult to remove from the mag pouch and cause excess wear on the pouches. Unless it was a smoother texturing, like with the tree bark.
