"What do you want? You, you want the moon?! Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down. I'll give you the moon, Mary. Well then, you could swallow it, and it'd all dissolve, see? And the moon beams'd shoot out of your fingers and your toes and the ends of your hair. Am I talking too much?" - Jimmy Stuart - It's a Wonderful Life

The moon, derived from NASA data of the backside of our moon, is carved from a single piece of 3/4" baltic birch plywood. I love the way the alternating layers of dark and light veneers accentuate the topography.I cut a second ring to mount on the back of the moon. It's purpose is to provide a lip to hang the moon from, hold 4 - 3/8" dowels to bring the moon away from the wall, and to accept a strip of LED lights.
