The snow missed us here, only a trace amount, we got lucky :) The base is only stained, not burnt. I had some real old stain that was kinda thick and I dumped in the remains of a couple other colors, shook it up and wiped it on. The stain did not want to spread like it normally does and I had to really rub it in. It made for an antique look, because it absorbed differently everywhere. Cutting the ray out wasn't bad, the hard part was making the wings look like each other. Kaha k'i' Thanks. I have to admit my wife's ideas are "usually mo bettah than mine!" as well! JP M
