BB Shell cutout

The bottom of the shell is a good place to use for not only making a stamp for a serial number, but also a place to add a little art to the frame. Since this bike is dedicated to my mother, I decided to make a cutout of a teddy bear. My mom was crazy about them and I thought this would be right at home on the bike. It took about two hours, start to finish. It was amazing how connected I felt to my mom while carving this. It was as if she was holding my hands to help me.
