You could always use fly tying feathers and then clear coat it.
hello,
Bump.. :p I'm thinking about creating a design or a name on my Hudson Bay tin. A fellow Bushcrafter has similar & has suggested maybe creating a Hudson Bay logo or some pattern from that era & adding a fictional date for authenticity. The Hudson Bay tins I have seen have some awesome designs engraved.
Regards
David
Hi David, really like the engraving idea...
I thought of this technique when reading your post...

...a bit like the scraperfoil stuff, you know what I mean?!
The paint to cover it first can be acrylic or any metal paint ( ie: car scratch repair 😉)
About three coats of it and a sealer as described here:

I suppose you could cover the lid in 3coats of black acrylic paint and then stencil in a design of your choice followed by "scratching" out the stenciled design...
Finishing off with the sealer to protect it...
Or even just silhouette engravings (Google Fu 😉) of lettering or design...
