Just awesome!  Funny how no matter how old you get your dad can still make you proud.

I talked to Dad last night. It took him 2 weeks to complete this one.  He took up the hobby just in the last decade or two, though he did carpentry throughout his adult life.  I also asked him what finish he uses.  He likes the natural color of oak (as do I) so all he gives it is one coat of linseed oil followed by 2 sprayed on coats of clear lacquer.  This piece was so flimsy when completed that it has a glued on backing of blue canvas to stabilize it.  He's got a special talent for sure.  As an aside, he will go to his graduating high school class' 69th reunion this summer in Minnesota.

Thanks for all your kind words.

Your Dad has some mad skill there. Heirloom piece no doubt.

George, I have been busy and am just seeing this. Yes, I am as blown away as everyone else.
Just one comment, it aint his age that is so amazing it is his skill level. His artistry doesn't need
qualification. It stands alone.
