Tips

The resin used, sands, drill, mills and carves easily. 

Acrylic nail filler will adhere to a scuffed surface and makes a fare filler.  Model filler work well.

Antiquing can be lightened or removed with nail polish remover.

Antiquing can be darkened using Ace Rust Stop oil base enamel Satin Black.

A nice patina can be created by using the oil found on the face between the noise and cheeks.  Rub the oil into the piece often, a nice glow will be created as well.

About Us

In 1962, Rick (RickyDean) sculpted his first skull in clay (last image) and continues today
making one-of-a-kind Items.
In 2003, BawdyPartz was created (after the death of his wife)
 making shift knobs for Harley Davidson and Indian motorcycles. 
The old Flathead's, Knucklehead's, Panhead's, Chief's and Scout's needed some skull
tank shift knobs, suicide shift knobs, and jockey shift knobs. 
Now making knobs, nuts, bolts, billiard accessories
and
many other small custom parts of resin.

BawdyPartz is Cottage Industry (also known as Leather Rose, since 1990) in the gold rush town of Sonora, California making small custom parts in the likeness of body parts (cast in resin) and often sculpted or assembled from body parts such as bone, horn, ivory, leather , and teeth.
