The structures have no walls, therefore the panels are somewhat exposed to the worst of the elements. The pigments are natural earth pigments which can be sealed with an acrylic matte sealer. For long term preservation the back side of the stripped and flattened frond should probably be treated with an insecticide and/or a sealer for strength. (They will be fumigated before they leave New Guinea.) In the Washkuk, panels are sewn together as they are never perfectly flat or the same size, nor do they have nails. I will send you a panel today. Best From: Sent: Wednesda , July 13, 2011 9:43 AM To: Subject: Re: SHIELDS X 40 Hi I think it would be a good idea to have an old panel sent to me just to be sure! The intended use for them is to line the ceiling of a "tiki hut" type structure in the Caribbean, so they will be exposed to inclement weather at times! Do you think they will work for that purpose? It can be sent to: 9 E. 71st St. New York, NY 10021 Many thanks, On Jul 13, 2011, at 10:26 AM, wrote: Dear You could send the check directly to me. My address is: EFTA00562949 My daughter also works with me and her phone number is (backup). I have already sent word to a neighbor of David's in Ambunti to expect an order. I do need to make sure you understand that these are not shields. They are panels made from the flattened bottom end of a sago palm frond. They are quite light and much more fragile than a wood shield. I would be happy to send you, free of charge, an old beat-up (and disposable) panel to confirm that we are all on the same page. Thanks From: MI Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2011 9:13 AM To: Subject: Fwd: SHIELDS X 40 HI I just wanted to confirm we would like 40 shields made similar to the ones in the photo which are on exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. Brian had sent me some examples of a few shields which a certain "David" had made which my client really liked. I am happy to send you a check for $1000 as a deposit. Should I send it directly to you, or should I send it to Brian?
