Tom,

The contact info I have for Howard is:

"Howard Mills W3HM" <w3hm at frontiernet.com>
304-876-6483

Howard has already re-finished and silks creened panels on hand. I believe 
he operates on an exchange basis: you send a panel, he keeps it for later 
refinishing and sends you a completed one.

NOTES:

1) His panels, whether originally embossed or flat, have all been filled 
level, refinished and then silk screened. He does not supply 
embossed/stamped/engraved panels that I know of.

2) He has at least some Black finished panels with white lettering.  These 
are stunning if you want black.

3) His price exchange some time ago was $150, likely plus shipping. If you 
send a panel that needs work to be useful to him (bends, holes), he has to 
charge for that work.
