Notes Only backdrop I could find but that was not the point of photo. Download and zoom in for better view of shop mark.

I could care less how you grade the photo as I can't seriously shoot close up's with a P&S built on 24mm-840mm Zoom lens. 6 at most.. Just checking in to let everyone know I do have a life outside of attempting HDR with equipment that can't compare to that used by most here.
An American Cherry banana tree or hanger made from "shorts" which are scraps left over from furniture building that are either too short or undesirable for graded furniture. Most burn these scraps in their fireplace but I hate to waste one ounce of wood. I made a production run of 40 of these for gifts to family and friends for Christmas last year. By hanging banana's it prolongs there short life after being picked so hopefully useful to the recipients. They also make great car key holders for the kitchen counter.
In an attempt to resurrect new life from dead wood and give it a new beginning and purpose each piece gets my "shop mark" added once it meets my personal standard of build quality. Something rarely seen or heard here in the US anymore.
Made With Pride in the U.S.A....

Very well by protecting the environment. Photo clean, highlight the wood grain.

Thanks everyone.. @Rick.. I don't build to sell except rare occasions. For sale means dead-lines and I don't do dead-lines since I retired. :)

@Flip.. I studied other commercial ones that broke in most cases as there is a weak point in top curve. I changed lenght and angle of curve an went to hardwood. So far not one of 40 has broke in a year and don't expect them to. :)

The table-cloth is actually a simple cotton tarp from my shop where I keep a number to cover my work-bench when gluing up. Wadded up and in a drawer. Again the pic was not meant to compete so I flopped it out and shot the pic. :)

Love the wood John. I personally think still life is the hardest thing to shoot.
