I finally got it done. I made it out of walnut and cherry with a black cardstock backer. The letters are inlay into the walnut. I made the pattern using Coyote Stencil Shop 3. My brother is the best thing in my life. We spend all of our time together whether it is in the workshop, driving around, or him sitting in the yard watching me cut grass. I wanted to make something for us and thought about this idea. I think it turned out alright. Thanks for looking.
