Post by: Jim Martin on August 15, 2018, 07:51:26 PM

Kudos.  Those are excellent, yet also scarily realistic.  I hope you never sell any like them because they would confound the market and some people might try to take advantage of that.

Those are very nicely done.  I'm impressed.  I also echo Mike's sentiments.  You should stencil in 2" red letters on the side "REPRO".    ;D

I would probably/maybe catch these by the wood age, but 50 years from now? probably not. nicely done, but an intrusive mark would be nice. If I had done them, maybe engraved name and date on the bottom, like an artist, as they are works of art
