Popular Post difalkner Posted January 6, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 This was not a difficult project but the Walnut is so pretty I figured I'd show y'all. Originally they wanted me to cut all the detail in the IG Badge but it was over 19,000 nodes and it brought Fusion 360 and my computer, which ain't too shabby a computer, to its knees. Each time I would make a slight change in the file to clean up a jagged edge or something it took my computer and F360 about 15 minutes to refresh and hand control back to me. Ultimately we settled on the trophy shop doing the detail on the laser and I would just cut the outline and add the block on the bottom for a brass plate. This has a couple of coats of Nitrocellulose sanding sealer and gloss lacquer and it's about 14" tall x 9 1/2" wide. The knot and cracks look far more pronounced in the photo than in reality and are very smooth. There will be so much laser burning in this area that I don't think it will be noticed anyway. When I talked to them a couple of days ago they indicated they'll probably want 10 to 12 of these. Here's the graphic - Front view - Close up - Back - Like I said, not difficult or really worth of a thread but I just love the Walnut so y'all get to see it.

Almost appears 3-D in the middle picture. Hope you got lots of it if they want 10-12 more or a fight might break out for who gets this one. Thanks David...wood like this deserves to be shared. p_toad, Dadio, Cal and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandpadave52 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Boy, dozed off and missed this somehow David. That one turned out spectacular. Even with the laser engraving the grain pops through...amazing piece of work! Who wouldn't be proud to receive that piece of artistry? Thanks for sharing the finished product. Sorry I missed it earlier. Cal, difalkner and Gunny 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
