penquin Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Got this finished and got it entered in the Orange Country fair in Southern Calif. this year. This is a cutting of a statute down in Camp Pendleton Calif at the Marine base there. You can look up the details on line but it is about 2 soldiers helping a wondered third one out of a house in the middle of house to house fighting in Fallouji. The stature was created after a photo of this was published. Big thanks goes to Don at Old Crow Scroll works who created the pattern for me. What a great job he did. I asked for help after I read the story and felt that a wood cutting of this would be a real nice way to help remember this action by all 3 Marines. Hope you all enjoy it, I am really pleased with it myself. jim penquin Kept trying to get the photo the right way but the computer would not cooperate. Sorry.

dgman Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Great job Jim! Don is a great pattern maker and this one is a blue ribbon winner! You should think about entering it in the Ventura County fair coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
