Fred W. Hargis Jr Posted Tuesday at 09:57 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 09:57 AM Turned out very nice, Lew. Both the platter and the engraving. Were you associated with the Intruder in the Navy? Grandpadave52, Cal and lew 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you associated with the Intruder in the Navy? Yes, our squadron (VA-65) was IIRC the 3rd Navy Squadron to get the new Intruder. This all occurred around 1963-64. I was an AQF (rating no longer in use) and worked on the DIANE computer and the Track and Search radars used for navigation and precision all weather bombing.

Gerald Posted Tuesday at 06:03 PM Author Report Share Posted Tuesday at 06:03 PM Great work. That rim detail really sets it off. Have not done any laser work just wondering how much difference wood and finish makes to final effect? Cal, Grandpadave52, Fred W.

That seems to help make the image more crisp and reduce the surface ashes. The wood species seems to be the biggest factor especially when doing the "picture" burn. Burning my signature and date are not nearly as temperamental and have come out nearly perfect on every surface. This burn looked good on the test piece of lauan Fred W.
