Let me know what you guys think? Meanwhile here are a few pics of it now... I ended up doing a sort of scrimshaw effect where I carved decently deep lines then rubbed watered down paint into the grooves. I like the effect. Too bad it doesn't have a waterproof inside it would make a nice beverage cup. It may be too tall for a caddy even after I cut the ends off a bit to make them even unless someone has mighty big paint brushes or something. I dunno... thoughts? Ideas? Anyone?
