The P-3 prop was fun to make as I experimented with clear casting resin. The blades are mohogany and the center spinner is made of beechnut. For the casting resin, I just cut out the center of the blade and filled halfway initially. I then placed a few things like rank insignia, command coins etc on one side and the Hawaiian islands on the other side.
For the H-53 tail totor, basically square blades and used the talents of some other guys to make the center fittings.

I have seen many navy wood working projects and I have to say that this one is very unique and has a nice amount of polish to it. VERY well done shipmate

Did a westpac on USS Boxer (LHD 4). I was on the Marine side of life…the US Navy really is the greatest taxi service in the world! But really, outstanding craftsmanship sailor!
