Title: Yes, no, maybe this way, ggaaaa
Post by: wampidy on May 16, 2015, 12:04:49 PM

I have been trying to figure out which way to hang this two sided cab and it is going to lay here forever because I can not make up my mind. So, I am going to ask ya'll to please help me out by voicing your opinion. Not the best of photos but I tried to show how it would hang both front and back. I have narrowed it down to three ways to hang it. The heart is important but the mask on the back is important also.

The cab still needs final polishing and I should have cropped the photos so I could put them side by side but what is done is done. So it is 1-2, 3-4 and 5-6.

top two :) I guess you'll have a crooked heart and mask if that's the one you choose :)

Personally, I like the last set the best.  I like the heart being totally visible on the front and the mask on the back you can tell is a mask no matter which way it sits.  The heart is smaller and I think you need to showcase that first.
