I like this one, Martin, and I can see where you could market them specifically. And anybody that knows me knows I have a love of beads on faceplate work.

Hi Simon,

 Me thinks this will go on display with me taking orders for either single sign or for a couple.

Cheers Martin.

Hi Martin,  I like it for the Art element of it, very good details.  We're born, yes, but I'm not one for the Zodiac, but with the Paganism of the world, it will sell well and should have a good market..      ....

Hi David,

 I agree, total rubbish that the position of the stars has anything to do wi th what will or wont happen, I made this hoping it will bring in some orders for similar items at the Arts Trail I am doing, how many people open up the morning paper and go straight to the Horoscope page, I hope this will be a little earner as they are so easy and quick to make.

Cheers Martin.

Hi Martin, I like this piece very much did you carve the signs in after the turning process.Regards John

[Martin Lawrence]

Hi John,

  After the turning is done I draw the pattern on the back and it is then cut out with a Jigsaw, you obviously have to reverse the pattern as you are working from the back. Thsi is just left open and the back colour is the wall it is hanging on, I have done some and put hesian on the back and coloured it with spirit stain.

  Thanks to all for your commenst I plan at some time to continue this with a Walnut and perhaps an Almond.

Cheers Martin.

Thanks Martin, I didn't realise the sign was right through the wood.Regards John
