Beautiful. Are the over unders in the monogram sculpted, lines or dots? It has a very "soft" natural look to it

Sam , what are you using for black on that?? Durable???

The most durable paint I've found is Rustoleum flat black. I cut backgrounds really deep so it's fairly well protected, but no paint is 100%. I've been using it for 35 years.

Thanks Bert. The monogram is sculpted. I used a flat graver to relieve areas where the letters overlap, then used a textured sculpting punch to lightly planish the relieved areas. In addition to smoothing the graver marks, it gives a bit of shading as you noted.

Very classy!

Very elegant Sam.

Seeing one of your finished sculpted projects made me pull out last year's FEGA seminar DVD and enjoy it again!

I didn't even notice the sides on instagram... but the design and execution in the leaves is as stunning as the monogram. Bravo sir.
