Hello,

I want to make a small wood plaque for a friend with St. Christopher. Does anyone have a decent picture? I've been searching and just can't come up with something that is good enough quality for a wood engraving. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Hi Guys,

Didn't come out too bad. This was etched on Pine with a little brown color added. This is for a friends sailboat. I might touch up the color in the letters a little more however I like the "worn" look that the lack of a uniform color adds.

Nice job on the engraving. You do know that he was ruled out as a saint years ago by the Vatican.

You and your friend wiki are probably right, I just remember that they had dropped him from being the patron saint of travellers.

If not a Saint anymore, Is there a market for Mr. Christopher medals? :D
