benlilly1 Report post Posted July 30, 2013 Thanks Jimbob, I was so nervous carving the cursive!! One slip and I would be done! Not perfect to my liking though. I need more practice doing that kind of carving. They like it and it's ready to go for the weekend. I hope there's a good turnout Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Alsaker Report post Posted July 31, 2013 Absolutely awesome seat and for a great Memorial. You need to send a picture over to the Facebook page SEAL of Honor so they can share it with their followers. Great job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
