January Commission

What's the perfect thing to make for an old Navy Chief Petty Officer...other than a cup of coffee?


This custom bench will provide a perch for that retired CPO come this Fathers Day, thanks to his devoted wife (and my valued customer).


She requested a custom design drawn on the seat as well as a shelf below for incidentals, 
and I was happy to oblige.

The "fouled anchor" is the hat and collar insignia of the Navy Chief, I rendered it in color pencil.


The shelf is a variation that's both utilitarian and pleasing to the eye.


Three coats of spar-varnish has it shipshape and ready for any weather, though I do recommend that folks bring their benches inside during the winter time.

Delivery was today, with all hands quite delighted with the result.
Anchors aweigh!
Mannie
