Grandson joined the Air Force - K. L. McReynolds - 12-27-2019 Maple and bloodwood with walnut hidden drawer. Top and front AF logos are bloodwood and a purpleheart B1 bomber silhouettes. Finished with shellac. Simple mitered corners. Hidden drawer opens by unscrewing the correct foot.

RE: Grandson joined the Air Force - fredhargis - 12-28-2019 Very cool, there's no doubt you are justifiably proud of him.

Succeeded admirably at woodworking, though. Folks at Knob Noster will tell you it's a B2. RE: Grandson joined the Air Force - R Clark - 12-28-2019 1, 2, 32...whatever it takes! Cool, and very thoughtful and appropriate to the occasion! RE: Grandson joined the Air Force - BrokenOlMarine - 12-28-2019 Very nice, sure he will appreciate it. Because Grandpa made it. RE: Grandson joined the Air Force - Halfathumb - 12-28-2019 Beautifully made & designed. Grandpa made it. That's a keeper with lots of emotion. RE: Grandson joined the Air Force - AHill - 12-28-2019 Congrats to your grandson and good job on the box. The silhouette is indeed a B-2 bomber. When I was in the the Skunk Works in Palmdale, CA, I used to see B-2's all the time. Northrop runs the depot there. I've also had the privilege of seeing the B-2's up close and personal on a visit to Whiteman AFB (work-related). It's an impressive and complex jet. My son is in the Air Force. He's an air traffic controller at Nellis AFB. He's about a week away from getting deployed to the middle east. My father was a career Air Force meteorologist. I'm a retired Army officer. RE: Grandson joined the Air Force - Phil Thien - 12-28-2019 Very clever hidden compartment! Does your grandson know what he will be doing in the USAF? RE: Grandson joined the Air Force - K. L.

His first two interests are linguistics(Russian) and Public Affairs. Testing showed he is qualified for both plus others. Will find out in August. |
