1. Beginning of the project… getting the 26 oak boards identical and laid out and glued up.
2. After a few hours of carving and shaping, with the star field cut (to scale of the overall dimensions). Still no glue-up at this time… Used my angle grinder with King Arthur and Arbortech wheels…
3. Used clear stain with dye added… took a few coats to get what I was wanting but it turned out well.
4. Glue up completed nothing left but the field of stars and a final finish coat.
5. Final with a clear coat gloss finish and heavy duty hangers on the back for wall mounting.

That's a beautiful flag project! I love the curves and that's for showing how it was created. A local artist who taught art at our high school, created a tribute to our wounded and fallen heroes with a flag theme. He created his artistic flowing flag as part of a brick wall. He went to the brick factory and picked up a load of green bricks, placed them in position with plywood spaces to hold the position the mortar would occupy, then he carved the design in the bricks. After he was finished, the green bricks were carefully hauled back to the brick factory and fired. The wall is very impressive. I know it's not woodworking, but here's a link to the monument.
