Inlay of Company Logo

[CRFultz]

I wanted to try and do some Inlay work so I took the company I work for and used there logo.
I wanted to use the natural wood color to match there colors.
-
The base is walnut with a burl inlay.
The vertical rectangle is ebony and the oval is padauk.
the letters are maple veneer.
Its about 8" square.

It's a simple design and I learned a few lessons along the way.
I have tried this in the past using AutoCad and other software....but I could never get
the results I was looking for.
VCarve Pro made the layout a simple task.
I plan on doing more of this same type of work using natural colors.
I would like to do a US Flag but the color blue will be a hard wood to find

You might try some purple heart for the blue colour. It is not correct but it might work well enough. It is nice to carve with, being a very hard, fine grained wook.

Here is a link to a site that has a lot of information about all types of exotic hardwoods, colour hardness, density etc.
