A fun new project

I was recently commissioned to create a coat of arms for a client. We used some elements of their own coat of arms and some of my ideas on design. We wanted to use some old wood that would make it interesting and have an old appearance. I went in search of some old wood and found some tongue and grove cypress that was 150 yrs old. It has beetle holes in it and overall just looked great for this project. I had fun putting it all together and the end project is 3 inches thick and 7 feet tall and 5 feet wide. After painting and aging it I waxed it.
