Once a year I am a camp counselor at a YMCA camp in Big Bear California. In the mess hall there are around a hundred or so wooden plaques that represent each different ymca, what year they made the plaque, where they are from, and usually some sort of phrase.
Our YMCA, torrance, has yet to make one even though our group has been going there for over 30 years. So I decided to take it upon myself to finally make one. This is my WIP. You'll notice there are 3 flat spots where I'll write. The outer most circle will most likely say "Together for a week, close for a lifetime"
The middle will say Torrance YMCA
and the smallest will say 2011.
This piece of olive is nearly all burl and has some nice curl to it. It is the biggest and best piece of olive I have from my harvest last year, I have been saving it for something special and I decided this was it. It is 18" in diameter. I still have a lot of finishing and burning to do on it. I'll repost when i finish.
enjoy
