Retirement Plaque - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

I took another break from my big project (will I ever finish it ??) to make a retirement plaque for one of my colleagues at the airline. This is my original design using maple, walnut, bloodwood, aspen and basswood. It measures 9 X 11 inches. I was daring and went backless for the first time.

Nice job Lewis. I like the design too.

Wow, this plaque is absolutely gorgeous Lewis! I am impressed with all the little details you have put into your design. The fit is so tight, it looks like painting almost. How did you do the white stripes on the wing? Superb!
