Default Some C6 woodworking item I created!!

Most of these were made in 2005 and 2006. I haven't made many lately.
In 2006 Tracey Richardson aka trayc6 asked me to make a C6 emblem, first picture, who she gave to Dave Hill for his birthday at the Detroit Auto show. When I met Dave Hill at Cruise-in VI he said he had it in his office.

The emblems take about 4 hours to make while the cut outs take about an hour. The Corvette letters took an hour to make.

Exceptional work....

My father does keepsake boxes and does a lot on inlay work, I know how difficult and tedious that kind of work is. I just do furniture sized stuff, a whole lot of latitude with that.

Inlay work is very hard!

These are some things my dad made before he passed away! These rockers are big enough for me to ride and I am 6'6"!

No. I haven't made any in about 8 years. Plus GM frowns upon anyone selling their stuff without getting a cut!
