Thanks Wokka, most appreciated.
Yes, I am using DT, and that is only a single coat of the Clear DT Base Stain. I'm going to give it longer since we are experiencing a severe cold snap at the moment, we have received some snow here on the coast!
Tonight I've been playing around with some logo designs. My brand name(even though I'm not selling anything!) is CQC, which stands for Custom Quaile Creations, Quaile obviously being my surname.
Here are a couple of attempts in Paint. Which one stands out for you guys?
#1
Or #2
None of these are set in stone, and I may come up with something else. I'm also not ruling out someone else's option either, so if we have a logo guru around, please feel free to chip in!
