Project Information

After I did the last piece to honor the military, I thought I would do the same for some other professions that deserve our thanks and remembrance. All of these men and woman that put their lives on the line to protect us deserve the upmost respect from all of us. I'm making the pattern for police officer's right now.

This has 370 pieces of wood with 20 different woods, no stains were used to achieve colors. I used some nice curly maple that I had for the background to simulate smoke (hope it worked). I did use a blowtorch to give the wood, gurters and gloves for a burned look. It is 2 foot x 2 1/2 feet and is finished in a satin finish. It was made with cypress (frame), mahogany, cherry, walnut, yellow heart, spalted tameron, pauduck, babinga, pine, ash, black mesquite, blood wood, wenge, lignum, cortez, black palm, aspen, ebony, osage, curly maple.

Thanks for looking.

You are gifted beyond words. That picture has a true meaning. I have a brother-in-law who is a volunteer fireman.
I would truly enjoy making one of these and giving it to his dept.
