OK folks just so you know I'm not all blow and no show here is my finished project.
Thanks Grampa Paul for the cool pattern you came through again. You Sir ARE A STAR!
This is my first real project meant for someone else. The backer is 1/4" Masonite with light gray primer sprayed with silver glitter paint which gives it a starry night effect and a clear finish of the wood
(no stain) It is common 1/4" plywood of only 3 ply's but was all I had to work with. I'm pretty pleased with it, but hope to do better in the future, might even get some of that fancy stuff to cut.

I'm waiting to see their faces when I give it to them. Beckie has always had this thing for Moose and has collected them since she was a young girl. So you can see the connection.
