Your eyes the old style did you have to cut each individual eye out of the sheet or were they an induvidual decal? my eyes from M&D had to be indiviually cut from sheet. PITA But I like the look. Saw Ryan at the Hartford show yesterday. New northeast specialty blanks look great.
Billy its a minwax colored stain, comes in a tube, its thick like paint, i dont thin it just rub it on, comes in all sorts of colors.

Plug is sealer like usual then sanded and rubbed with stain.

then two coats of epoxy, so the color is sealed in pretty well.

The eyes are from saltys, they are stick on, peel off and put where you want, i really like em, adds a nice look.
