Arrow Finally Started working with Carbon Fiber.

Hey guys. I finally got all my supplies in to get started on my new project. I found a really good supplier through a contact of mine and I finally have some time to begin. Just yesterday I started a test piece in order to get more familiar with CF and how it flows etc. I'm a very hands person and it helps me figure out things. My test subject was my cobalt ash tray cub holder thing lol. I wanted to wrap the lid in CF because I thought it would be a great start. Here's what it looks like right now. It still is not finished because it needs a few more coats but it looks pretty dam good lol. ALSO! This piece when finished is going to be sold in the parts for sale section proceeds to the site.
