Thanks everyone for the compliments!......The shield is carved from American Beech. The undercoat is Minwax "Red Oak" and the white and black areas are acrylic paint, wire brushed and sanded for antiquing. It's 32 inches high and 11 incehes wide. Here's a link to the shield I patterned it after: http://www.hamillgallery.com/OCEANIC/Shields/AsmatShield02.jpg

I plan on doing a few more soon.........V
