This is my first foray into the art of shield carving and I based mine (actually pretty much copied the design) from Meyer's oceanic art book. This is based on the Solomon shield carved from wood. Mine is routed/carved from a recycled shelf that was in our collections room down at the aquarium. I painted it with water based acrylic and paint pens, and stained with a nice water based stain. I forget what color. Walnut, probably. Here it is: Thanks for looking!
