As a result of the Wounded Warrior Golf award plaques I was asked to create
another set for Louisiana State Troopers Assoc. golf tournament.
Thanks BJB for the help on the pattern.
Here is just one of the set.

That is a beautiful plaque. What kind of wood did you use?

Thanks Tom, the wood I use is Andiroba , after I put on Tung oil, it gives a rich red color,
sometimes I just a high gloss sealer and get the same rich red color.

Looks real nice! I also like the wood. I'll have to try it on something.

Very nice, next time I'm at the lumber store I'll see if I can find that wood.

Other good woods I use for spoons and plaques is Sapele and Alder( a poor man's cherry)
both have tight grains and carve very well.
