Branding for a Woodworking Army Veteran

Tim is US Army Veteran who is handy as hell and also has a love of wood working. With a growing demand for his work, it was time to craft a brand (both the marketing kind and the wood burning kind) fit for his passion. He already had the perfect name: 12 Whiskey Timber. 12 Whiskey refers to his job as carpenter when he entered the Army and Timber for his name, Tim, and its obvious wood association. The logo had to be masculine, simple, and bonus points for tying in any military reference (like the sergeant stripes flanking each side).
