Re: New Marine Sign
Seems like those former Marines all like plaques - at least I hope they do. Here is one I made of cherry for my brother as a surprise gift for his upcoming birthday next week (hence the blue tape over his name).
After carving the plaque and a few coats of poly, I used a gel stain and a lot of wiping to fill in the v-carving.
Semper fi, y'all.

Re: New Marine Sign
Hello Folks,
I've been lurking and learning for years. I thought I would post this sign I made for the local Marine Corps League of which I am a member. The sign is made from HDU. The 3D I purchased from 3d machinist. I made the 3D from 3/4 HDU and inserted it into the larger frame. I have what I call a modified solsylva machine that I built myself. It cuts HDU good at 65" per minute and 50 on wood.
I know that is slow compared to a lot of folks but I've found that it makes for a lot less cleanup.

Re: New Marine Sign
Looks really good Fred. I like the choice of colors. Pretty standard for the League.]

Fred,
That is one great piece of work. What size is it? Will it be inside or outside...
Way to go.

Re: New Marine Sign
These look great. I have yet to try carving into plywood. Have you had good luck with it...any special tricks to doing that?

Re: New Marine Sign
I use plywood a lot for my painted things. I like to use cabinet grade Oak or Maple, finishes nicely. Cost more than regular sheeting, but nicer to work with.
Have a safe machining day
