Joe, I always like how carved HDU looks in the raw,(almost feel like I don't want to paint it). I thinks it's because it holds light and draws shadows so well, but I'm pretty sure it will look great after your done with your paint and glazes, look forward to seeing it completed...Pat -------------------- Pat Welter Masterhand Signs and Designs Unity, Saskatchewan.Canada

Thanks guys, I agree Pat but I'd have to position the sun just right all day for the image to read like this. Ain't gonna happen! "Dogwoods & Dragons" Still have to get a drop shadow on the letters....otherwise, she's done! Thanks again!
