    I've had an idea for a while to get crafty and make a wall hanger decoration. Be it good enough for the office wall, or the fireplace mantel (Cowkid2 beat me to that*).

    Picked up a 1" x 12" x 4', cheap wood...seems perfect for hacking and chopping.



    I've been looking at easy-ish patterns, and tried to free hand it on to the board with a pencil. After a few hours of sketching and burning through an eraser.



    Figured it was good enough...and went to the jig saw:



    Dirty side:



    Clean side for perspective:



    Tried using my old soldering iron to burn the detail in:



    After an hour of burning the surface with the new soldering iron I picked up to work on this project.






    Cowkid2 made this in school, King Striper (paper machete):

        I think I'll hack off the 'vent' fin. It is distracting to the pattern.

          Made another one. Based on the comments (or lack there of), I guess nobody wants one...I was going to give them away.

              I like the thicker stripes of the one on the left in the last picture. Cowkid2 still has the best homemade Rock IMHO.
