Another Christmas Present

[Jordy23]

This is another present I made for my brother for Christmas. Thanks to Brady who digitized the original badge for me I cut it out of Maple and cut the plaque out of Sapele.

This was definitely a challenge it was the first full 3D image I have attempted to cut. It was a nerve wracking 4 hours. HA!

I wish I could have done inlays for the name, but I haven't figured out how to pull it off yet!

I did a Tung Oil finish then a clear poly.

Jordan,
For being a new member (and i assume new to CNC) that is some beautiful work there:eek:

I have done a few of those myself. I like the raised perimeter around the badge. Just how easy was it to sand that plaque?

[Jordy23]

It was a pain to sand the badge ! The perimeter was the rope border around the original badge. Thanks much for the compliments. I'm still a rookie big time. Just trying to learn new skills with each project. :D

[cowboy1296]

3 years into it and i am still learning. but since these are your first 2 projects you are light years ahead of the curve.

Jordan....your avatar picture..is that your German Shepard? I love German Shepards:D

[Jordy23]

Yes it's a German Shepherd that's my sidekick Brita. She travels everywhere with me. Spoiled rotten...

i'd love to see a bigger picture. GS are one of the most beautiful breeds of dogs.

[cowboy1296]

That's not a dog, that's a BEAR!:eek:

[cowboy1296]

A full blooded akita with a long coat. But yes he does look like a bear. I have socialized him since he was 8 weeks old and he luvs people and has not met a stranger yet.

[Jordy23]

This still isn't a great pic, but a better one of Brita.. Definitely the queen of the house. :)

Jordan,
That turned out really great considering it was your first 3D project! I bet your brother was really surprised on Christmas!

Thanks for posting!

Rick...Jordan...all i can tell you is you have a couple of pussycats compared to MY pet.....

[cowboy1296]

Yeah if you are talking about your profile pic then i agree. In the back ground of the picture of thunder you will see a sign i made by hand and a 30 dollar router from harbor freight. You might say the shopbot has improved my capabilities.
