joshatatlasstands Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Unfortunately I had to displace my local writing spider to make this panel,She wasn't hurt, I hope she comes back, she has two egg sacks ready to pop. I sprayed her webwith spray paint and draped a sanded panel across the web, then I added a poly coating to seal it. I might make this the back panel of the LED Logo Walnut studio stand that I hope to send to SEGAS with Blackfoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plinky Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 That would look really cool on a guitar. Sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshatatlasstands Posted September 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 I found the writing spider, actually my wife found her on the porch this AM. She's alive and well and working hard for us, I moved her back to her favorite spot... Writing spiders build a new web every day so it's pretty tough to get them before they are gone, and the last thing i want is to make her want to leave... This amp stand is looking awesome. I'm putting a poly coat over each web I find. Once I get enough webs transferred it will be ready to assemble:) Hope y'all like it!

joshatatlasstands Posted September 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 That would look really cool on a guitar. Sweet. yes it would! Go for it my friend! Would love to see a guitar body with an authentic web on it, sooooo much nicer than a drawing or painting. Please be nice to spiders, and be safe, they bite:) I like to relocate them before i use any paint as they are sensitive to fumes. A jar works good, but you'll want a stick to get them off the web.

A jar works good, but you'll want a stick to get them off the web. one more thing! Don't use too much poly or cover spray at first, it dissolves the paint and will sort of blur the web if you are not careful. Just use enough to make sure it makes good contact with the surface of the wood, then come back later to get a good coat over the web.

joshatatlasstands Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Next time I want to try something other than poly...poly is too much like plastic. I sanded it all down to 320gt after the first couple web transfers and it all looks awesome, but I wish the wood grain was still able to be felt. Maybe I'm spraying the webs with too much paint...??? an suggestions out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpm99 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 an suggestions out there? Yes. Keep being awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewey Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Wow, what an awesome idea. I would spray them with a very thinned down lacquer if I still wanted the wood feel. You would have to experiment what the thinners did to the web though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
