In Memory
« on: February 18, 2013, 12:07:06 pm »
Here is a piece I made for someone I work with, he asked me to make this in memory of his son who committed suicide a year ago or so as a result of Bullying at school, the school is Camanche Highschool and they are the indians, his football # was #70, made from 7/8" white oak with 3 coats of Deft. Give me your thoughts.

That is a great looking tribute for his son.
