Thanks everyone!
Joe, I guess I pretty much try anything. I really enjoy all of this stuff and wish I had time to learn more.
I just need some serious sales and marketing schooling, then we should be all set. Really want to get my husband working on the sign biz with me someday.
Thanks again.

Looks great, Amy! Which crackle method did you end up using?
Posted by Amy Brown (Member # 1963) on :
Thanks again everyone.
Joe, it is pieced together pine. My husband buys it a lot to make table tops (he makes custom wood furniture on the side sometimes). We had a piece big enough to use so we didn't have to buy anything. That was the good part about this job, I only had to buy the crackle stuff.
Eric, after a bunch of different test methods I ended up using the crackle kit I bought at Michael's Arts & Crafts and used the antiquing medium that came with it. It is made by Plaid and was around $19.00.
