Thank you, sir. The Brett is currently the only piece I have ever had to destroy because it didn't hold up. I spent a couple of years planning it, hoping I could find a way in science to help preserve the pine tar. Unfortunately, it was too viscous, and within 2 weeks.....the thicker sections of tar had merged with the other areas. I used sample sections to try an acrylic seal, but the tar moved under it; I tried heat, but the tar thinned out faster instead of drying; after consulting with several "experts" on tar online - I gave up and decided to just stick with the photos I had taken.

That is a shame to hear! At least you were able to preserve it by photographs..either way extremely impressive work of art!
