Hi Ed....I do hope that you don't take this the wrong way......but I'm a guy who's into the natural beauty of wood, with all it's warts intact. I can just get my head around the use of colour and texture, but only when the grain shows through. For me, this one goes too far because the applied art takes over completely (or certainly appear to from the photos), so the groundwork for the art could just as easily be clay, plastic or metal.
Having said all that, I quite like the effect, but I think I'd like it more if I could see some wood.
