BEN FRANKLIN STORM SIGNAL BLOCK

Benjamin was constantly observing hot and cold fronts, storm  patterns, and lightening. In 1937 the waving flags used to warn sailors of dangerous weather.  The light and dark are important to give this block its nautical flag like feel.  Click on picture to see how I made the dark and light  materials to make this block. I have to make 3 more  just like this  one for the BOM.
