After seeing several at gatherings I decided to try one for our trailer.

Nice job James! What is the size and what kind of wood did you use?

Oh wow! I actually had to go into the camping stuff and measure it.
It was made from two pieces of 6x218 pieces of bass wood glued side by side. The full depth is about 1 3/4. The trailer and trees are about 5/8 deep and the other three background layers are approximately 1/4 each the lettering on the bottom is about 3/8 deep. A two dimensional photo doesn't do it full justice.

Oops! Poor arthritis fingers. Finished size is about 12 x 18 after cutting away some of the edges to expose the trees .

I feel your pain. I've got to get my hands on some basswood. I've been using kiln dried poplar. Nice straight grain and clear of knots but way too hard.
