Made this YUGE sign, 2ft x 4ft. laminated some 1/2" sanded ply with some 1/8 stuff and framed it with some hard maple. Threw a little min wax ebony stain on the frame and a couple coats of poly. Definitely need to up my finishing game - its okay, but think I could do better on the next one.

The name was cut out on my 10w laser, but it wasn't strong enough to cut through 1/4" ply, so I had to use the scrollsaw (which I am awful with).

It was a gift for one of my wife's clients.

Trying to do a few simple freestanding text signs and have found it to be more difficult than I anticipated. Had to really mess around with the fonts to get something I could carve as one piece. Intent is to hang it from an arch. Any tips? what kind of bit do i need to limit tear-out?

I've got an xcarve, used an 1/8 downcut, and its 1/2" sanded plywood.

Thanks!!

Just finished this walnut serving board. The 'P' is CNC engraved and it's finished with mineral oil and beeswax. Small bit of epoxy to fill an inclusion on the bottom. What do you think??!
