Finally finished my project! Based it on this:

Started with a couple of blank wood blocks from Hobby Lobby.
Stained the large one and carved the smaller one.

Here they are before assembly:

Now after the 2 pieces are joined (side view).

Added the text and then sealer.

Details on the reverse:

Finished piece measures 8 1/2" X 11 1/4"
Hopefully this will please the new owner. I debated whether to put a picture hanger on the back so it could be hung on the wall and concluded I should let my trade partner decide themselves.
There are some amazing submitions here so far. A couple of them are making me drool. Fingers crossed I can get lucky on the receiving end!

Finally, I didn't know there was a thread on TC about the Waikiki Room until just now. I had only seen the menu. I think you will like seeing the original post by Sabu and others including some great vintage photos!! Check it out here:
