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.
