Thank you all for the nice comments!!
Hi Rick. I guess it is going in my display case with all the other originals that I don't offer for sale. In 2012 I was going to sent to Usain Bolt personally but I could never get an address for him- just to organizations and the like. I once made a purple heart purple heart for Gabby Gifford when she got shot in Tuscon but I never got any response and don't know if she ever received it. It went to her headquarters.
Hi Bruce. The box elder is from a 4 1/4" thick slab that I bought from a saw mill about 15 years ago. I used half of it and I still have about 15" x 40" left and it is VERY red!! I go through the wood room full of about 20 species and they say " pick me pick me!!"
Hi Gary. I heard something about that too............. Kinda disturbing.
