Below is the "smooth" finish version for the 2 tablets, with the "scroll" design for the left and right "side-panels".
Below are very close detail photos of the "ancient
aged stone" finish for the tablets; you can see the polished "gold" metal backing
directly behind the tablets and the "cherry" finish laminated top, bottom and side panels.
You can also see the engraved areas on the "cherry" laminate panels, which has been painted with ivory enamel;
you can also see the "brass" screws and washers that hold the removeable side panels on the display.
Note
the interesting texture which is achieved with various chisels and other tools that give each tablet a "one-of-a-kind
personality", which is reinforced with the exclusive "dry-brush" painting technique revealing the texture.
Below is the "smooth"
finish version of the tablets, with the "scroll" removeable side-panel
designs; above is the "ancient aged stone" version with the "semi-sunburst" panel designs.
Above is the very, very first installation of our unique, individually hand-crafted 10 Commandment displays now in the
lobby of my
wonderful Calvary Chapel in Monmouth/Independence, Oregon. Thank you, Pastor Rick Hopkins for suggesting
that I consider engraving
the 10 Commandments! And thank you God, for the talents, skills, abilities and gifts
that You give to each and every one of us to be
used for your Glory and Honor!
