    This memory piece will probably be one of the most special that I got to be a part of. "Dad" came to me a couple months ago with a request to make a custom piece for his son as a graduation gift. His son is the captain of the 2006 district champions basketball team. The boy made the winning shot and they got a pic of the shot. Thru out the season several of the newsaper articles called his son the "unsung hero". He was a defense player therefore didn't score a lot of points each game but kept the other team in check. Using a copy of the pic and the last newspaper article scanned in to my puter....I designed this piece and just delivered it the other day. Graduation is this coming Sunday. I used acid free parchment cardstock to print out the article and burned the edges. District championship medal in upper left corner.
    The piece is cut using 1/4" oak for the overlay and lettering. 1/2" walnut for the backer. 1/2" oak and 1/2" walnut bevel cut for the base....

    Very nice piece, I think that the son will be just rapt that his dad thought enough to have it made.

    Cheers Peter

If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."
