Today's pattern from Steve Good and him telling about how much he liked his barber, brought to mind a project that I made about ten years ago.
I have been going to the same barber shop since 1970. It has been through several owners in that time but, it is close to my house and all the owners have been very nice guys and do a good job of keeping me looking fairly human so I keep returning.
When I first got started in scrolling, I was making all kinds of things for everyone I knew and having a ball doing it.
One day before Christmas, I got to thinking about making something for the barber shop so, on my next "Trip for a trim" I started asking my barber a few casual questions about the history of the shop. He told me that it has always been known as "The Larkland Barber Shop" and it has been open since the strip mall was built in 1956.
So, home I went with a possible pattern in mind and did a bit of sketching and cutting on the saw and came up with a Christmas gift for my favorite "Story Telling Place"
These days, my son-in-law and grand son get their cuts at the same shop.
A nice presentable hair cut cost $10.00 these days.
The plaque still hangs on the wall near the cash register, saw it again just yesterday.
