Trinacria the Flag of Sicily.

In this video I made the Flag of Sicily which is red and yellow with the head of Madusa in the center with 3 bent running legs and 3 ears of wheat.

The red represent the city of Palermo and the yellow represents the city of Corleone. Those two cities with the first to rebel against the government of King Charles I, who was the French born son of King Louis the VIII. King Charles I, ruled the Island of Sicily and Naples in the 13th century.

After transferring the image onto wood, I outlined with with a wood burner. Using the band saw and the scroll saw I cut around the image. With the Dremel, I sanded to the final shape. I used water color pencils to color in the image.

The backer board with made using re-sawed plywood cut into rectangles. On the router I made a chamfer on all 4 sides to give the appearance of subway tile. i used tinted varnish to color the red and yellow sections of the flag. Then made a simple frame.
