A memorial project I'm working on made out off three bits of scrap 2x6 glued together. Doesn't look to bad the finish path was with 1/8 ball nose took approx 4 hours not sure About finish. Was going to stain and then black out the lettering   |

That's a great piece and I'm sure your parents would be honored by it. Would I have your permission to share the finished product (if you post it) on Facebook?

Right up my ally.....darn - had my plans all laid out doing nothing but 2d work and there ya go and throw a wrinkle into my plans. Never thought about what you are doing as I see it mostly in stone (I engrave granite/marble/stone monuments) and never thought i'd ever have to go more dimensional for plaques and such. darn....Will have to reconsider now - that is just awesome. Great job. I'm sold.

I don't think it looks bad. Especially since it's pine. There's only so much you can do with that species. Also, with pine ESPECIALLY in a 3D carving you have to use pre-stain. AKA, dewaxed shellac to pre-saturate the more opengrained portions.

Another thing you might consider, do the angels in something like Walnut and do the inside flat portion out of maple. Will give you nice contrast without having to stain anything other than the text |
