Larry Breaux is at it again!

It's always great to see more from our customers that have previously had an official "Customer Focus" or "Weekend CNC Warrior" post.  This is Larry's second Shop Notes post and this one really shows off his skills at creating a nice layout and his finishing work!

This is his new family crest!!!

"Let's Ride No.1 carved in maple with black cherry stain as an Xmas gift for my parents. Came out GREAT! Thank you for the great quality models."

We agree, it does look great!  

Thanks again Larry for sharing your work with us!
