Hard Work Pays Off, desk or shelf inspirational sign. Hand cut with a scroll saw from your choice of oak or walnut

I started working after high school when I was 15 years old, and learned the value of hard work. I believe that hard work DOES pay off, based on my personal lifelong experience. • This is another in my series of inspiration signs • I cut this sign by hand on a scroll saw from solid wood (oak or walnut, your choice) • The sign is approximately ¾” thick and about 5 ¾” wide by 5 ¼” high • This would be a fine addition to your desk, or would make a great gift item • The sign has been finished with several coats of mineral oil to bring out the beauty of the wood grain and to preserve it for many years of use
