Love How this Method Brings Out the Grain
Each Stripe Cut Individually
Then stained with 2 coats usually
Then the stripes are dry fitted
The Union is Selected
The Union is hand painted & stained. In this case we imbedded 45 cal brass shells in each star for the Company
1st stage of the glue up
24 hours later the top 7 stripes are attached
24 hours after that the lower 6 are affixed
I review the flag from all sides to make sure its up to my design standards
Each flag once reviewed gets my signature & over the next 48 hours, gets two coats of spar-urethane to protect them from the elements and tyranny!
It’s then boxed up carefully
Double protected from sloppy UPS handlers
And, shipped to your door ready to hang inside or out!
