Fantastic and I can pronounce Schuylkill properly :slight_smile:

Spent all my summers in Pottsville literally, school ends off to Pottsville, a week before school starts back to Md.

Yeungling! Yeah!

Was born in Allentown…

Is this just regular ceramic tile? That lettering looks fantastic! Very deep and defined.

(The photo looks awesome, too, but the lettering caught my eye, because I have tried to do something like that and it didn’t turn out that nice.)

Thank you…Used Gimp. Made it grayscale and just adjusted the brightness and the contrast then the same with the shadow and highlights. Just ran test and adjusted it until I was happy with it.

How did you color it I guess is my real question. I always just use a sharpie to color in tiles after I engrave them
