I hope you guys don't get bored of me posting some of my work but I am lost dreaming up things in the CNC world hehe!

This time around I was racking my brain deciding what to get my sister for her 40th birthday (trust me she has everything)...then it hit me with a bit DUH!!!! I AM MAN, I HAVE CARVE KING! (ok corny)

My sister, since she was 2, was into Wonder Woman (to this day she dresses up as Wonder Woman for Halloween) so I dreamed up a nice sign with the logo and her name. I used 3mm aluminum for the inlay into poplar wood stained with red mahogany plus ebony stain for the frame.

Turned out better than I thought.

Cheers!

I've never thought about inlaying aluminum into wood before now. Kevin was right, that gives a great contrast. IF your sis doesn't love it, I'll hang it in my house.

I've always wanted to do a mesquite table top with brass or copper inlay.

Then belt sanded it and applied stain and linseed oil. Cheers!
