Here are some pics of the first #10 I made....not the greatest but I am happy overall. And once it's weathered and in place I think it will look alright. Some more cleaning up is needed with some thing's. Drops have been attached and frog is wired, everything is all tucked underneath for the photo's.

Thanks Dan. I am going to be placing these very close to edge and for viewing purposes is why I added the details.....the $$$ add up but it looks great.

Thanks alot Malcolm. It's alot of work but the end result is just what I am after.
