Over Door Carving

[Ed Nelson978]

This is a Christmas present for my Dad who loves sailing. I have not yet finished the finish, but thought it was close enough to show off! It is carved in red oak and finished with garnet shellac. This was my first attempt at lettering.

Let me know what you think!

Ed, that is really nice! I hope you have signed/dated this as it is sure to become a sought after family piece. I sometimes think this type of work has more meaning than does a piece of furniture - much more personal.

Beautiful work Ed. And a clever idea - something specifically designed for a space we all have in our homes, but which is usually empty.

[Ed Nelson978]

Thanks! I wish I could take credit for the idea of using the space over a
door, but I ran across a similar idea on the Woodcarving Illustrated board.

Beautiful!!

You are a good son...AND nice work!!
