This is a name plaque for my eldest daughter's horse. Made from Ash with a 0,125in endmill.

She'll LOVE it!!!
The fact that the very first piece you made was for HER......You'd have a fight on your hands getting it away from her:)
Sign the back!!
Good Job!!!

Not bad at all.
Are you aware why the letters are joined like that ?

I only had a 1/4 inch endmill to hand, a 1/8 inch one would have cleared between the letters....

Scott is right - the first is a masterpiece. WELL WORTH putting on display.

First success is always special. My kids and grandkids have all their firsts from me, from a very long time ago. Your daughter will Love it, as I do ( my name as you can see ). Keep cutting and enjoy it always.
