This came from a retiring judge's chamber. It's a map of Michigan surrounded by the Great Lakes made completely out of Petoskey stones (It's a Michigan thing). The state is made up of cut stones in the shape of each county. I have no idea how old it is, but it's not a teenager. It measures about 42" across, including the 1 x 6 frame, which is connected to the 1/2" plywood the stones are fastened to. Very very solid! It's going up for auction at the wife's charity fundraiser. I was asked to "clean" it up and make it presentable. Ended up refinishing the frame with acrylic latex house paint from Sherwin Williams and buffed the stones with quartz countertop polish. Have no idea what (if anything) it'll bring, but somebody sure put a lot of time into it originally.

I see that in a couple of weeks there will be an expo in SW Michigan. I'm thinking about going as I'll be somewhat closer. Anyone been to this and recommend pro or con? I went to Hartville Hardware's show a couple of years ago and I liked it better than some of the traveling wood shows that tend to get routine. http://www.theworkbench.com/
