    I knocked out this quick one for the owner of the Farm Market……25th year in biz. Gold and AL leaf together….a first for me. My outlining skills are getting better too.
    Hope you like it. 🙂

    Joe,

    Thanks Robert,

    It’s about 9"x12". The 25 was AL leafed, outlined w/shadow, on top of the stained board and then cleared with 3 coats of urethane (Unfortunately it looks white in this shot). The panel was then masked and I carved Thank You and years. Then I used patent gold on Thank You and the boarder to keep it out of the sized YEARS and then AL leafed YEARS. Outline with maroon and several beers. :lol1:

    Thanks Again!

    Joe,
