I don't know about you but wood in my house doesn't have teh reflections that I'm seeing here.
I see your point. It's tough. Without the glass...it seems so flat..no depth. I have seen the glass on some wood (graphics) stuff recently. It reminded me of the kind of stuff you might see in a cabin...okay, and one of those roadside souvenir stands in the mountains..where they put 10 coats og lacquer or decoupage on it.
What say ye', skinners?
if it looks good, who cares how big it is?
Are you having another bout of Thumper Envy?
*edit- What is a good place to send big files for sharing?..
