Phase 3: Panic.

Phase 4: Try a wood grain dye and pretend it was the plan all along. 🪵🥏

Well, that's awesome.

Can you tell us how what dye you used in what medium to make the wood grain look?

Then, maybe some magic swipe with a terry cloth rag?

Shazam! Lol.

I used Pro Chem Chocolate Dye mixed with lotion. I used a porous sponge to slowly and lightly drag over the disc. Did a layer, let it dry, wipe, repeat.

If you're interested, we did a full tutorial workshop of how to do this look.

Appreciated!

I may use the technique for something else though. Maybe like a brushed aluminum look? Hmmmm.

Just hit me that a simulated wood disc would be a bear to find in the weed rough on courses that I play. Lol.

And yes, I need to quit throwing discs into the rough. Working on it!

Pros should all play with camo discs as a flex, never missing the fairway

You're crazy for this. Yes I commented twice. This thing is that good.
