Here is a better image of the compass I made in 1986. The original photograph,which I wish I could show,is 8"X10".This size seems to be the biggest I can get a scanned image into the forums limits.I think by now that I have finally figured out how to post scanned images. In case you missed the other posting,this was made for David Brinkley in 1986.Perhaps tomorrow I can get the moderator to delete the first attempt to show this photograph.

You did a good job on the box, also. That's quite an achievement.

Like Mike said, it's more than just a beautiful piece, it's a life accomplishment to take joy in.

It was a privilege to make gifts for many heads of state since President Reagan,and other well known persons,mostly because I got to do something nice,and more challenging than the usual things we had to do,like welding coach tires,making dozens of wooden planes,saws,etc..
