Mahalo, everyone. Input appreciated!

8FT - Sorry, forgot your question - paints or stains? Yeah, both I think...
Seeks - This is the first sign I've done, but it's not been all that labor intensive. A lot of it was roughed out real quick with a router...
Hewey - That Monsterra leaf pic was chosen for optimum looks - best viewed from a distance!
Hi Finky - Yeah I'm not sure what I'll carve next. Maybe Kauai and that new pile of logs will inpsire me?

Here's the weekend's small bit of handiwork. Letters & stuff all carved out, frame lines all done w/ the Weecher, bulk of the sanding done:

Next up: Some torching and wire brushing to rase the gran in the background, some creative staining to make it look old...

...and maybe some of that "crackle" type faux antique paint for the letters for that old school look.

Anyboby used this stuff? If so, any tips would be appreciated!
