Members Jimbob Posted August 30, 2014 Members Report Posted August 30, 2014 A friend of mine has a brother and he is a retired Marine !!! So he wanted a birthday present for him....working on a shadow box, ( 20X16 )...added an American flag as backround ....now this leather carving goes in, will be attached with prominent brass bolts and as finishing touch the unfinished circle in the leather picture on the bottom will get a Marine corps metal emblem in red, blue and gold !! A thank you to him for his services and a thank you to all of you served this beautiful country... Jimboob Quote
