red crown sign with furniture
Been meaning to post this for some time, but I have been busy caring for my dad who was ill for quite some time. He taught me to build furniture since I was 9. We were inseparable, and I was lucky enough to be able to spend so much time learning from a master craftsman like he was. Here is the last piece he made for me to place my red crown sign in. All that is left for me to build a edge facing so it appears that red crown sign sits inside the piece like the mirror above. Been a tough few weeks, as I haven;t been able to do much in shop since his memory is so strong there. But the time has come to try to get back to work, and continue utilizing the gifts he gave me.
