I made this for my wife's birthday tomorrow. I still haven't clear coated it but I wanted to post to ask what everyone thinks.

Re: Irish Blessing Plaque
Great work! Love that shamrock on the ends, carved it many times. Makes a great 3D weave. She’ll love it.

Re: Irish Blessing Plaque
Excellent! I’m impressed with how well the letters turned out. It’s often a “chipout challenge” when cutting small text. It appears you dialed-in your feed/speed just right to avoid any major problems. Congrats!

Re: Irish Blessing Plaque
Nice plaque... Both the lettering and the carving are really crisp. What is the wood? Birch? Did you paint, then sand down?

Re: Irish Blessing Plaque
Thanks:) Its cherry wood and I used my favorite product for masking, Oramask 813. I can't say enough good things about that stuff. It carves so nicely and makes painting so much easier.gkas wrote:Nice plaque... Both the lettering and the carving are really crisp. What is the wood? Birch? Did you paint, then sand down?

Re: Irish Blessing Plaque
That's a very good job of masking. I find that the 813 can lift a very tiny bit in places. I've not worked with cherry, so it may be that the finish may be very smooth. Thanks for the info.
