Hey Dawg,
That looks really good. Did you apply a paint or stain??
It looks like your Shark is doing a Great job.
Keith thanks for posting and I'm sure your nephew is really going to like it and please let him know I appreciated his time served!!

Hey Don,
I stained a peice of Oak plywood it prior to carving, the poly after the cariving.

here one im working on for a guy that is getting promoted to staff sgt.



a 12 clock for his wall.
work in progress

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.

Wow, them look really great!!!

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.

Outstanding! I give you all "BZ's"

Looks really good Fred. I like the choice of colors. Pretty standard for the League.]
Hope your ready to make more stuff, once they see the sign, they'll be lining up with all kinds of Ideas.
btw, Happy belated Birthday

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


Way to go.
I admire your work.......

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

Some of my attempts

I like the painted one. I have been looking for a model like that one.
A friends son joined the marines and I wanted to make them one.
I was going to add serving proudly 2017-20?? and his name

Thank You
Don

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.
