Built this for a Chief in the Navy. It’s 44 inces long and about 23 tall. Has a hinged top and below the flag holder (the big “A”) I made a challenge coin holder that holds about 26 standard coins. It was made out of cherry. Took about 30 hours and it was finished with hand-rubbed tung oil.

This is a beautiful piece. Cherry is such a gorgeous wood. I am sure the Chief appreciated receiving this gift.
Thanks for the post.

Great job!
It the “A” for USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72)?

This is actually my second one…the “A” just puts balance to it, he is actually on the VINSON CVN 70.
Have your say...
