Baird Custom Woodworking

Hi everyone! Quick update on the never ending Warfighter Box for my old CSM. It has been a while since I posted, and life has kept me out of the shop, but I’ve been working on the “Lid” of the trunk, in particular the front of the lid. During the Gulf War, CSM Billy Marlow drove a Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) across the desert. I wanted to capture that part of his career along with two engraved “patches” on either side. One for the Gulf War and the other for the Transportation Branch he served in. To add color and balance, I wanted to flank each side with the American Flag. The carve you see in the Pictures is a “practice” carve, as I will do the final carve on Oak.
