Tom,
I am a newbie to CAD so I cannot help you there but just wanted to let
you know that your projects on your website are quite impressive.

Thanks for the tips.
It looks like my basic problem was that I took the 96 x 96 pixel tile
size to be gospel, rather than a suggestion.
Having grabbed a couple of finished wood photos and tweaked them in
Photoshop to be about the size of the pieces that I wanted to apply
texture to, I'm heading in the right direction.
Now I need to scan in some samples that I make myself, using the real
wood with a real finish on it, and I should be able to tweak those
enough to work.
I've put another image of the same drawing on ABPW, using the wood
images I saved using the above technique.
Not there yet but getting there mo bettah.
Thanks again.

Looked at your web page. Read your poetry.
You are obviously a darn good woodworker.
:-)

Hi Tom,
I attached a rendering from TurboCad Pro V9 to a message on ABPW ... though
I doubt it will remain long with all the .RAR files being dumped there. It's
a big one ... I figured you needed plenty of detail.
I used the stock "maple" texture on a 3D piece and modified things slightly
(played with color, scaling, trunk center ... all part of the edit
properties screen).
Hope this helps,
Rick
