you read my mind, Rob. A slight alteration to the top and... BOOM- Ohio
If it were I doing the conversion, by "slight alteration" it would mean hours of work and countless mistakes

Ed, it's a little different than the one Ken has, and it cost me a lot less that $35. Had a local engraver laser the star for me.Originally posted by ed4copies

Very nice, elegant design- I like it a lot!!![8D]
What materials did you end up going with- Looks like the upper is curly maple- did you dye it yourself, or is that a stabilezed/dyed blank from one of the regular suppliers? Looks like the lowers might be curly maple as well, with half dyed red? Finished product looks great. I'm betting you get requests for a lot more of these.

I'm hoping they sell well. Won't really know until my fall shows. I have no shows planned for the next few months as I have some house repairs to make. Replacing the roof on the house and garage/shop and adding a 6' X 40' covered walkway from the house to my shop and an 8 foot covered area on the back of the shop for wood storage.

I think I have the solution for the ohio conversion
drill out the star, fill with something white(Holly perhaps)
drill a slightly smaller hole through the white material and fill with the red material and BAM! Ohio
