You know I will! It is from Sculpt Nouveau. I use the brown "patina stain" which is a spray. After it dried I hit the hi places with a yellow "solvent die". After that dried I waxed it with a brown wax, waited two hours and buffed. After 24 hours when the wax is set it turn out a really cool finish I think. I was going to sand blast the piece but didn't have time so I just wire brushed it. The people at Scupt Nouveau are really nice and will answer endless questions.  Simply beautiful forging
