Wanted to make a little something to give my mother on Mother's Day. This is a Steve Good pattern cut on 1/4 birch finished with natural stain and several coats of clear with light sanding between coats. The back is pine painted green or red in appropriate areas. I actually cut this double stack and the other one will go to my wife. Steve's pattern calls for a 1/4 inch rectangle around the outside edge but the wife liked it better without. I've said before, happy wife, happy life! I wish the lady members of the forum a Happy Mother's Day!
