Interesting look! Nice job (on the bleaching and the stippling). I think a nice vinegar or condiment patina is more my speed though--call me chicken <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> That, or a nice natural patina from years of dedicated usage <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> But a really nice job, nonetheless!
