A couple of months ago I cut one of these out of Beech and Red Heart but the Hebrew wasn't exactly right.  So I reached out to a few people and now have the Hebrew correct (I think!).  Well, I finally had the opportunity to get the CAD/CAM work done and cut four of these in Pine and they came out good.  They're not as clean as the Beech but that was to be expected.  It's a different look than the Beech but still appealing.

 

These are 10" wide by 11" tall, finished in semi-gloss Nitrocellulose lacquer -

Really nice work David

They look nice.  Did you receive a request to make them or are they gifts?   Danl

Thanks, Guys!  Both, actually - request and gift.  The first one I did and posted here was commissioned and done in Beech.  After folks saw it I got several requests to make some to list on Etsy but these were all gone before I put the listing on Etsy.  So I guess I need to make some more.  One is going to the lady who did the Hebrew for me.

 

Someone asked if I could do this in Birds Eye Maple but I think it would be too busy besides being very expensive.  I told him Curly Maple would be a better choice but again it would be very expensive.  If I do one in another wood then I'll post it here.

They look fantastic!!!

Beautiful!

Great job and project.  I really do like these, even the pine looks good.  I wonder if you burned the face of the wood first would the letters come out as the color of the wood?  And, would they be bright enough to read?  

I'm not sure how that would work, might give it a shot.  If I try it I'll post photos.
