Has to be the hardest thing I've ever made

Post by GunnyMack »

Well is been close to 2 months since Dad has passed. Been some difficult days some good days. I have made lots of stuff over the years from buildings to tools to fine furniture and firearms but this was a real emotional roller coaster.

Sorry for the loss of your dad.

That you did something so fine, says something about what you thought of your father. Also, about what kind of man he must have been.
Beautiful work. He would be proud.

A beautiful tribute, it speaks volumes of your love and respect for your Dad.
Condolences for your loss.
If more men loved and cherished their wives as much as I love bacon the world would be a much better place.
