The problem with a tent or tepee is that pottry by indians would come from
indians living in adobe. I have thought about that as a backround. A good
leather cloth on the table would work though. That also solves the table
problem. Though I kind of like the look of the table but it really does not
fit in.

Could use a totem but those where not real prevailant either. But could be
intersting to build. Good idea.

I had done this to begin with. I was hopeing for somthing more like a staff
with leather and feathers hanging with the top lit. But I am not sure if
this would be right for indians.

Is it because the wood grain changes. It was to look like boards set next to
each other.

Thanks and I am an artist. I would not take critisizum in the wrong way. If
your ideas help me win then why would I complain. Is not the spirit of
povray the working together of individuals.
