Item Description
This beautiful dark wood ash cribbage board was hand-made by Iraq war veteran JR Salzman of Salzman Custom Sawing and Slabbing.
J.R. Salzman was a member of the Minnesota Army National Guard and was deployed to Iraq in 2006. SGT Salzman was leading a fuel convoy through Baghdad on December 19, 2006 when his humvee was struck by an EFP. He lost his right arm below the elbow, suffered severe shrapnel damage to his left hand, and sustained a traumatic brain injury. SGT Salzman spent the better part of 2007 recovering at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. During his recovery he became active with Project Healing Waters and relearned how to fly fish and tie flies with a prosthetic arm. SGT Salzman credits Project Healing Waters with helping him throughout his recovery.
After retiring from the military he returned to Wisconsin where he earned a bachelor’s degree in technology education. He returned to competing in professional lumberjack sports, earning his tenth log rolling world title despite the loss of one arm. He currently runs his own small business reclaiming fallen urban trees and manufacturing them into slabs, lumber, and furniture.
Located in NW Wisconsin, Salzman Custom Sawing & Woodworking specializes in sawing hardwood and softwood slabs from oversize logs. The majority of their products come from urban reclaimed timber that would otherwise be cut into firewood or hauled to the local dump.
