Juist finished these 2 placques for my Daughters birthday. Their birthdays are in June. I started them in April. Getting caught up. They are from Basswood, stained, and Feed and Wax. Merle

You are on a roll. Both are nice, but I especially like the sunflowers.

Merle,
I was just looking at your canes and now see these - just beautiful. Your daughters are very lucky - shouldn't you post this after their birthdays? What if they read it and see the pictures here? There will be no surprise.
Fred

Excellent work Merle! I like the way you receased them and left the roughout natural along with the background that you applied yourself.

Thanks Guys. Fred you brought up a good point, but they were for their Birthdays last June. That was just how far behind I was. LOL. You put a Smile on my face, Thanks. Merle
