Beautiful! What kind of wood is it? My thanks to your Son and his family.
I was at a saw mill that I go to offend and this piece of American Cherry was laying in the scrap I ask him if he sell it to me, I pay $2 for it was 16" X 18" X 1" thick , I cut out the a 12 x 12 for my son gift and still had some left over, I took the plaque over to let the guy see it and he couldn't believe it. he ask me how mean thing I made from the scrap wood I get from him, I didn't tell him most of it.
Nice job. what software did you use?
My thanks also to your son.
"I didn't tell him most of it"
... and thats smart business. Good for you.
Nice job too.
I used aspire, made it from a bmp. yes he now ask me what I going to use the wood for, I just tell him that (the wood hasn't told me what it want to be yet!!) I was in there the other day and he ask me to do some thing for him to sell at the shop he has.
Beign a CW2, and a member of the Razorback chapter of the United States Warrant officer Association, it would be cool if I could make some of these plaques for my fellow Warrants that are servins as our innaugural officers.
Rober, I have put in 20 hours trying to get my Eagle Risining to look as good as yours. You must have had a better BMP file to work with.
