Finally finished name plate

So I finally finished my first name plate after throwing away a lot of them. I figured I would start with a easy name....Jim.

This was made out of my pallet wood I got last Friday. I am thinking this is oak, but I might be incorrect. The plate is roughly 6" wide, probably 3-3.5" tall and .50" thick. There hasn't been any sanding done to these. I am hoping to look into that this weekend.

 

Thanks for looking. I know it's pretty easy stuff. But I'm pretty proud of myself. Now I'm going to work on one for each of my daughter in laws. Basically like this but maybe cowboy boots or cowboy hat in the corners.

Maybe something like this.

 I like your idea, Roly.  My wife has a piece of intarsia I did for her, hanging on the wall. I walked up and took a look at it and discovered that i did it in  2007. My how time flies. it looks pretty good too. Maybe I am losing my skills as I age.  :lol:  :lol: .  It is a great Idea to date things and see how you levels of workmanship compare. I still have the very first wood intarsia piece and I did that one on my band saw.
