hotshot Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) You know how after you start scrolling, every material or symbol you run across during the day becomes a possible project or idea. Saw this logo on someone's shirt at work, and first thought was, "I can totally cut that." For this piece, I glued the coin to yellow heart to give me something to hold on to after the center was cut out. I looked up the company and it turns out it is a non-profit clothing company raising money for Elephants, cancer research, and etc: http://www.ivoryella.com/ (Not sure why pic is showing twice, in editor, it only shows once) Edited October 3, 2016 by hotshot lawson56 and Rolf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotshot Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) Randy, they look good, but, aren't they to fragile to do anything with? Len The yellow heart is very fragile, so my wife has that one hanging up in her office. As long as you don't breathe on it, it is fine. Does anyone know a wood type that is strong along the grain? I've also tried purpleheart, not any better. I love wood, but most is very weak along the grain. Still, even with the wood being fragile, they are fine for hanging in stationary settings. The piece made from a coin is study enough to be worn. ---------Randy Edited October 3, 2016 by hotshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Excellently done Randy. Thanks for sharing this with us. Might try hickory or ironwood both are very dense close grained woods. DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penquin Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Great cut, and thanks for the tip on the cause and help for the elephants. jim penquin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Such fine scrolling. WOW! Just a thought, on the wood ones, make a little round form and lay the piece in it, pour some brand of clear epoxy over it and make a sturdy pendant.

meflick Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 More beautiful cutting Randy - even if it is an "elephant". Looks really nice. My daughter has a friend obsessed with elephants and she would love something like that. Me, a true Vol fan would never ever have any elephants around.

PM your address and what thickness that works best and I will shoot some your way when it is ready. I also agree with DW Hickory should work too.
