23" wood star using pine backing that is stained. Strips of pine wood that have been cut to fit the backing then burned to replicate the colors of our flag. There are 13 stripes and 13 stars representing the original 13 colonies. The entire piece is signed and numbered then sealed with a double coat of semi-gloss clear polyurethane for durability. Hanging hardware is included. Makes a wonderful gift for the veteran in your family.
