This is the completed Galootapalooza Frame made for Ralph during G11 by those in attendance.

 

Here is the finished frame. Each contributor chose his own style of punch or chisel or fuller and left his mark. The tool we made is mounted on the wood with a forged steel ring that is riveted to the wooden plaque. The chisel can be removed if necessary.

Here is the inscription:
