That is beautiful!
What’s the blue fabric? Is that where medals and such will go?

Yes, it is a piece of cork board that has been dressed with a felt-like fabric to allow for anything to be mounted onto it! In this case medals and ribbons and other pinned accouterments.

Made these on commission for a local non profit. Won 2nd place overall at a woodcarving competition. (First was an eagle that was all painted)
I loved it the most because i was given artistic freedom and liberty with vague guidlines.

I like to make thing’s out of plastic. It may not be pretty (eye of the beholder) but it keeps the wheels rolling.

Which prison? I was at MCSP and CHCF
Currently at CVSP, but about to close down, so need to find a new home soon. I’ve seen some of your flags on IG. You do amazing work. For me it’s a hobby, but I sell some stuff here and there to buy more tools and materials.
This was a prototype for a Keytar (keyboard/Guitar) with speaker. I made the two body parts and neck separately. All Cherry wood.

Its not really my favorite project, but it’s meaningful nonetheless…
I was going to Colorado Springs with a couple of friends on our bikes, doing 1,000 in less than 24 hours. Not a huge feat, but not for the faint of heart.
We just left Ash Fork, AZ and I was riding #2. The number 1 did something stupid and I said I’m not doing that, then my cruise control kicked off. I didn’t think anything of it, as any sort of resistance (or a pothole (which i didn’t hit one)) will kick it off.
I looked back in my mirror and didn’t see #3.
Being we were on a divided highway I didn’t want to turn around and face incoming traffic, not like there was any.
Sparing the details, I’m sure you know what happened.
He was non responsive and dillusional when I arrived, and I was neurotic.
He survived and recovered well and is a 24 year, now 25 year Army Warrant officer and a Gold Star Family member (brother)
I stopped by the hospital on the way home and saw him and met his wife, to give her the things I carried that was his. She said he was sleeping and out of it, but he was awake and cognitive, albeit drugged and numb, when I walked in.
He’s also a woodworker, but hasn’t branched to CNC although I have tried to recruit him and he loves Superman. His roadname was Steel. I told him to paint this as it probably beats the coloring books for 4 year olds he’s doing. So while not my favorite, it’s a meaningful piece nonetheless.
