Default Are you ready for some Football!!

One of my Jeepin' buddies comissioned this box. His wife, like me, is a Brett Favre fan.

When we first started talking about it, I was underwhelmed. I'm used to making pretty things, not *ugh* sports stuff.

As I got into the designing of it, I became excited and I think it turned out pretty well.
It features all of the teams Favre has played for (except Southern Miss, college) and the one Superbowl championship.

Wow, I have been working so hard on everyone else's Christmas gifts, that I have not done a bit of shopping of my own. I'm exhausted.

Kate,

That is an absolutely fantastic job. I'm sure that this is a piece that will be treasured for years to come.

What kind of wood did you use?

That is an EXCELLENT piece of Art. You say it's a commissioned piece, I wouldn' be able to afford that piece. One to be proud of. Merle
