Two Crows And Coors: A Coorlaboration

Here is the Coors and Two Crows Coorlaboration board, all ready to get some technical resin work done. We do a lot of Freestyle work here in the shop, but sometimes it is good to get out of your box and do something different. This board we are working on is for Skip the Coors Distributer. We came up with an idea that would look good with the coors logos. This is the groundwork for it. Full Freestyle with the Coors Banquet colors. Today we added the Coors logo in resin. No easy task.  We love coors so we wanted to make a board that showed some craftmanship and practicality. Much like our beer. 
These photos  are the process in which the logo was applied.




Here the deck is sanded to 320 grt (minimize bleeding of the resin) and ready for some tape.

The board covered in tape. Keep it clean



An entire roll. Barely made it. Ouch. Next time something more efficient.


Covering the back of the printed logo with graphite for transfer.






After the back is covered the logo was fliped and taped to the deck. Then traced. luckley not to much coffee today.




Next was to cut out all the first color, White. 


After applying white pigment and  resin to the boards, it was time to peel the tape. Good thin Charlie Walker and Third Stone Steve were there for the critique :)



Cleaning up the edges.





After a few clean ups it was time for the blue. We re covered the area and started cutting again with a razor blade. 


and by this time it was beer thirty. All part of the job.





The blue came out perfect. So stoked. Matt and I peeled the tape on our way out the door. More pics tomorrow.-n
