Just awesome!  Funny how no matter how old you get your dad can still make you proud.

I talked to Dad last night. It took him 2 weeks to complete this one.  He took up the hobby just in the last decade or two, though he did carpentry throughout his adult life.  I also asked him what finish he uses.  He likes the natural color of oak (as do I) so all he gives it is one coat of linseed oil followed by 2 sprayed on coats of clear lacquer.  This piece was so flimsy when completed that it has a glued on backing of blue canvas to stabilize it.  He's got a special talent for sure.  As an aside, he will go to his graduating high school class' 69th reunion this summer in Minnesota.

Thanks for all your kind words.

George, I have been busy and am just seeing this. Yes, I am as blown away as everyone else.
Just one comment, it aint his age that is so amazing it is his skill level. His artistry doesn't need
qualification. It stands alone.
