@undiscovered I think the metal and bottom board are looking awesome along with the handle. Maybe add just a little hammered effect to the metal during the texture phase?
The vertical planks could use a little more grain flow and not so straight and the grain lines seem a little wide in some places, but maybe Kent will dig it and I am off base. I like that they are not all the same width. That is very pleasing to my eyes.
Looking good so far though! And I am loving the sign.
