VCarved buttons

Thanks Gene, but LAST timeI used spray adhesive I got some on the floor and my wheels and then proceeded to collect every bit of cat hair/shavings/you name it and I looked like I was pushing a cotton candy machine and not a wheelchair(I won't mention my hands). Think Vac Holddown next step.
Didn't come out half shabby:)

GUUUUUYS! Desktop here--NOT FRANKENBOT :)

Burnt Buttons:)
Carved that "Tree of Life" and then found out there was a copyright issue so had Nancy pull pics, BUT Dad really likes it:( Tracked one that overlays it exactly on DeviantArt by a Canadian named Nat Franklin who says he designed it but that does NOT jive with "two guys in Britain" I was informed that own it. If anybody knows the original source Dad would like very much to license it if possible. Can anybody help?
Font height in "Looking for Owner" is .124" done with a $4 30 degree engraving.
Pretty much putzing with concept cuts here.
Hard Maple that I resawed on table saw and then hit with a large propane torch till barely black. Color does not rub off on finger even untouched.

Here is a link to the copyright holder:

THANKS a lot Dave!
Her design is only similar to the one I used claimed by Nat Franklin who claims it:), but everything from # of branches and roots, to the design of the Weave is different.
Now just to get permission from Nat after searching other claims.
MUCH more comfortable now!
Thanks again,
scott

Geez!! It looked fine on a 20" monitor :)
"C" in Camp is .081" high. (Think I maybe pushing the font just a dight--May have to go all the way up to .12")
Amazed it did as good as it did-and looks really nice under the 3X visor:)

Tried another one 20% bigger, but not much better. Then thought to squeegie a little CA on a small piece of the surface, but put too much on and it was enough to do the whole board VERY thin. BAD MISTAKE!! Bonded to the burnt so well that it was stronger than the Maple itself and was ripping the whole black layer off even running at 18K. Made a few more attempts and then decided to change everything and see what it WAS good for.
OH, after first attempt-I wiped ALL CA off with acetone, but the stuff that didn't wipe off went deeper and cut small font worse!
Lessons learned day:)
Staying with thinned lacquer(until the next time:)
