Finished this for an elderly woman that lives by my wife's parents. She's 93, without much family left, and she thinks of my wife's mother as a daughter, and us as an extended family. She even came with us for our grandaughter's 4th last month.
She's very religious, and since I had made some of these before and had some maple lying around, I made one for her.
Just some curly maple cut on the scrollsaw, basically. I put a quick coat of walnut stain on it then sanded it off the face to leave the contrast on the sides for a different look. Normally I would mill something like this thinner, but I wanted more of a presence with it.

I haven't paid my dues here with a picture so far this month and felt I was overdue. ;)
