This is a design for a property marker....."Three Ponds"

It's a pretty boring design but they didn't want any wildlife in the scene.....so I just cashed the check!

Here's the design....design transfered and the preliminary stop cuts put in with a router. I'm going to try to post pics of the progress every half hour or so.......here goes.

It's 3:25 now....

Joe,

Hey Joe ("where you goin with that gun in your hand ...") </hendrix flashback> ;-)

Really nice job. The paint job is what really makes this design work. It's beautiful. Curious - how long did that part of the job take?

Thanks for sharing!
