Thank you for the responses, Ken, we used metal pins and PLL construction adhesive the very small rocks are Epoxy Sculpt. The rocks are 18lb HDU. We did a lot of testing with different adhesives, and we found the PLL was the most user friendly and very strong.

Looks like crap from the back, the front looks good. Use the same craftsmanship that you did on the front for the back and .....

Well - I think it looks AWESOME, AWESOME! Is all that detail (Rocks / Bird) undercut for dimension? Amazing work.....

(Have to agree with Mosh a LITTLE bit - Could have done without the L-Brackets...Sorry....) I think I may have screwed the MDO backer to the posts, then glued the HDU to the MDO.....But that's just me....Looks Fantastic though!

This really looks nice, ya put in alot of good effort giving it a unique image.

Agrees with Mosh the back & hardware should be painted to harmonize with the wood.

It looks great. Wow Mosh. It doesn't look like crap from the back. It just looks like 100% function and 0% form. I would be 100% fine with this.

Agreed

Thanks again for all the comments, yes we tend to agree with the comment about the back of the sign. The posts are going to be painted at a later date to match the colour of the sign. Here in Winnipeg, Manitoba the cold weather plays a big part of some installations. The post were in the ground before the sign was installed and the client will be painting their own posts on this one, as for the brackets, yes we should have painted to finish the look. The cold also stops us from gluing substrates on site, but again thanks for all the tips and advice, being a very new sign company any advice helps.
