In 2019, members of the 2nd Ranger Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, reenacted climbing the cliffs of Pointe Du Hoc for the 75th anniversary of D-Day.  Some of the Rangers were dressed in period accurate uniforms while others were dressed in modern combat gear.  The picture, used as reference, was taken that day.

Members of the original 2nd Ranger Battalion were responsible for climbing the cliffs and silencing the guns firing onto the beaches that day, June 6, 1944.

I got to spend a long holiday weekend in the shop and this felt like an appropriate piece for the holiday.

Added color.  First time using the Eco Flo Hi-Lite stain.  I like it MUCH better than the gel antique or the fiebing's antique pastes.  Easier to get the pigments off the areas you don't want them with the Hi Lite.  This is their Briar Brown.

Looks good. 

 

Standing on  Pointe Du Hoc is an amazing experience.    It's a wonder any made it to the top alive.
