Line drawing would save lots of ink. This is a wonderful pattern and would really appreciate the line drawing. Thanks for your generosity.
News: Had a couple issues with the forum today. 1/19/2017. I believe I have them corrected now. Let me know if you have any trouble. Thanks.

I do not think it is advisable to glue two painted surfaces together, it will not be a very strong bond.

When I first moved here to a small community. I gave the local Saturday market a try. I was really saddened to not be selling more on the weekends. I kept going though and each weekend i sold a little more. I began to see familiar faces stopping by my booth and actually taking out there purses and wallets.
After about 6 weeks i was selling quite a few items and was getting more and more custom orders. it finally dawned on me after talking to a few other vendors, these are local folks who don't know me & I needed to earn there trust, and seeing me there week after week seemed to help establish that trust.
I finally was accepted when I made new signage and proclaimed "Locally owned and handcrafted in Montana!" My sales doubled that weekend and have been great since. Give it a try.
Give it some time, earn your place in the community.
Make informative signs about hand crafted locally, no computers, no lasers. Custom orders accepted. Shipping offered. Make it hard for them NOT to buy from you.
Keep a smile on your face.
Give out small items to passing kids Book marks, a hug (little hug word art cutout). Have a puzzle and challenge some of the teens to assemble it in under 5 minutes for instance and if they can they can have the puzzle If you are giving out to many puzzles make a harder one and lower the time to assemble.
Any time you have activity at your booth others will stop in to see what is going on.
Good luck!!!! We are rooting for you.

I would use beeswax and mineral oil solution to finish it. Any wood will work if you have a nice finish on it. I might stay away from Oak as it has a tendency to splinter.

Possible it is a finger or thumb print. If you touch a piece of wood with your bare hand you can leave behind oily residue which can affect a stains performance.
