Thanks to Judy Hunter for identifying the font I wanted, here is a desk sign I made for my wife.  She is organizing a conference for 400 people and the theme is "Everything Old is New Again".  The base of the sign is just under nine inches and the letters are held up on two, thin wires glued to the base and letters.

Hi Janet,

     The letters were cut from Maple and sprayed with a varathane finish.  I'm not sure what the base is!  It is some wood that I brought home after visiting a good friend in New Zealand.  It has a "redish' tone to it but what the timber is, I don't know.

That is really  unique.  I appreciate the credit, but someone had to tell me what the font was, but now I forget who it was.
