Default Susan's victory wreath; about done
Susan, we're just about done with our mahogany victory wreath. I've put on a tung oil finish followed by antique mahogany Bri Wax. Thanks for the design and inspiration. Mike

Thanks for the words of encouragment. Few words are as meaningful as praise from your peers. Al, the wreath is 8 1/2" in diameter; the inside diameter is about 4". It sure started as a big hunk of wood; not much left now. Mike

It's what's left that counts, Mike, and that one counts big time!
