I HIGHLY advise you to do this outside your shop. I used the arborthech turbo plane and it did fast work on the carving. Just be careful and make sure you know how to use it. Practice on some scrap wood first for sure because if you apply to much pressure then you will eat to deep into the wood. Let the tool do the work! Once done with the turbo plane I went back with a palm sander and work up to 220 then used a small hand sander that was 400.

Our Minnesota state flags are manufactured from top-notch, lightweight nylon. This means they'll fly gracefully in the softest winds and dry out fast post-rain, keeping mildew at bay. As an added bonus, the special digital printing technique used on these flags ensures the colors stay bright and UV-resistant, perfect for waving proudly under sunny skies.

Show your pride for the North Star State with the new Minnesota state flag!  Crafted with a sturdy canvas header and brass grommets, it's a breeze to attach these flags to any of our outdoor flagpoles.

Determine how long and wide you want your flag then cut a template using a rounded edge over at the bandsaw. Once you have your template mark the waves on your 2x4s moving down the template an inch after each 2x4. This way you will get a wavy look and will help cut down on sanding.

This is the longest step for sure because you have to tape each strip twice. Just take your time and make sure the tape sticks over the humps. I used frog tape and Min-Wax stain. There was small amounts of bleed through but I went back with a dermal tool and touch it all up.

The left side of the flag features a dark blue field, an elegant nod to Minnesota's geographic outline. The light blue stripe symbolizes the state's rich abundance of lakes, reflecting Minnesota's natural beauty and its nickname, "Land of 10,000 Lakes."

In 2022, Minnesota embarked on a journey to redesign its state flag, inviting the public to contribute their creativity. This redesign was driven by a desire to move away from the colonial imagery present in the previous flag. The response was overwhelming, with over 2,100 unique designs submitted. The chosen design was based on a submission by Andrew Prekker. His design stood out for its distinctive star shape. This new state flag becomes official on May 11, 2024.

*Flags size 12" x 18" - 6' x 10' come with a header and grommet, while our larger and heavier flags are equipped with a rope and galvanized thimbles.
