For Veterans Day, I crafted this piece in memory of my late dad and father-in-law, both Navy veterans.
After completing that, I decided to create a few more.
I sourced the designs from the Carbide Design Elements Library and modified them for advanced V-carving.
This project allowed me to experiment with various finishes and different cutters whose quality I was unsure of.
Although the final results didn’t match my expectations, my primary goal was to honor not only my personal heroes but also all military personnel, both past and present, and express my heartfelt gratitude for their service.
Freedom is never free.
