Which WELCOME tile looks best in the Quartersawn White OAK FRAME ?

I like A. The elephant skin has great potential.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

This is like an eye test. Which is better? A or B?...A oooooorrrrr B?

I would say A – not sure why, but perhaps because the tone matches the wood frame.

I like A best. That warm coppery finish looks better with your A&C finish.

-- "Bordnerizing" perfectly good lumber for over a decade.

They both look good. I guess a is a little better.

A for sure. B looks too smooth & even toned. B may look teriffic in a frame with more texture

Well, I prefer the bluer tones of the lower tile. I like the contrast between complimentary colors of yellow and blue. However, both look exceptional. The elephant skin is interesting.

New Zealand Steve… that cracked me up… started laughing out loud at the computer….

Dan, I gotta go with A… it’s got a warm feel to it.

wow! Everyone is going with A. I think B is much better for the contrast. A is too close to the frame color.

-- Wipe the blood stains from your blade before coming in.

I’m voting “A”, though I can appreciate the comments about contrast.

-- Robb

i like B better. i think the bluish grayish color compliments the oak.

Carleen just picked “A”. I think she voted for Obama, too.

I like the lower tile – it has more contrastimpact against the frame. Try the upper tile against an unstained frame – I think it would have a bigger impact.

I like the texture of the elephant skin tile, but or insetting into a frame, I would like to see a cleaner joint line or the tile made in 1 piece

Done with great effect Dan.

I can’t really be desive on this they both have good points and there are reasons, as has been pointed out. the elephant skin is really a keeper, i trust we will see more of in your future work.

I like the top one (A?) as well…

A it is !

I have been entertaining myself with textures on the surface of the tiles. FIRED Ground glass looks cool … kind of like a sand casting defect seen in a foundry…..unique

I’m also experimenting on a triptych with same tiles as above, but with fired ground glass textures. It is still in process.

I plan on continuing the elephant skin process. It a little better then expected. Only problem is if you look real close to the surface of the tiles, you might guess might my NEW invention.

Am I too late, Dan? I like “B”. And the elephant skin panels are very cool!
