Another really nice one, John. I've noticed that most of your signs seem to have fairly high gloss. Are they really that shiny, or is the flash of the camera doing that?
I use high gloss poly or laquer. Just my preference, I guess. I don't use a flash, but sometimes the lighting throws a higher than normal sheen on them. But for the most part, it's the result of the gloss poly or laquer.
The stain being lighter could be caused by the wood being a little harder, or have a higher moisture content than the pieces you have cut before. Or you might have sanded this one a little more or used a finer grit sandpaper.

So, what do you think? The horizontal lines create the illusion of a line of clouds, a ridge, a sunset.... the human brain just needs the illusion of detail, than it searches for what it thinks should be there. vertical lines in a scene like this tend to distract the mind, and cause it to be confused by what it is seeing..
I can see the difference. Lighter stain helps too. Trouble is, I got the file all set up for 24" panel, and some 24x20 and 24x16 pieces cut -- Can get 2 -20" and 2- 16" pieces out of a 24 x 72 panel - no waste. May have to adjust things a little --- it just takes so much time to redo things
Course, I could get 48" panels, cut em in half - cut 4 inches off, keep the cut offs and glue them up to make another panel.
