Part of the reason I wanted to get this piece assembled and stained was so I could use it as a model/template for replicating the look on a resin casting.
Here's the unpainted casting next to the (almost) finished original
and the resin casting fully painted and labeled:
I wasn't able to exactly match the tones of the original wood piece, but I'm overall pleased with the way it turned out.
I'm thinking about doing another resin version painted to look like aged bronze....
