Beautiful work Merle, kind of a trick on the eyes, the way the flag folds back under itself. They just keep getting better, and better................Tom

Merle - Your latest carving is outstanding! It includes several challenging elements - folds, lettering, the eagle head, painting - as well as combining these elements in a way which captures the viewer's attention. It sets a high standard for other carvers to aspire to. You must feel good about this project!

Very impressive Merle! Wow! Even the plaque itself is nicely sculptured. Lovely blend of all the elements.

Hi Terry, the Plaque was a Rough Cut piece of Walnut over 100 yrs. Old, well cured , it was the other end of the Rotted Plaques that I used for the Ducks . Now to get the Approval from my Barber and then on the Wall, Thank You for your Encouraging Comments. Merle
