Here is what I have been working on for so long. Started out with rough cut hard maple that had been stored for a few years.
It wasn't the best wood but I was able to resaw it and get enough to make this plaque. It measures 24 inches wide and 32 inches high.
Wood was planed down to three sixteenths. Didn't keep track of the hours. It was a challenge but, worth it. Made it for my grandson.
He is putting it in his classroom
