    Hi,

    I’m back 😛 , i know, it’s been a while.

    Here is a school crest in mahogany. 20" in dia. and 1" thick. Two separate pieces….the Trojan is 1/2" thick, hand carved, no sanding….just a few coats of clear lacquer. I made two. They are for placement on lecterns at a private prep school near me. The two took a little less than a week. The Trojans were carved in about 7 hours each.
    The back panel was stained mahogany and the Trojan was left unstained for a little contrast.

    Joe
