Personalized 2020 Ornament

[OzarkSawdust]

I did a few of Bobby Riggs 2020 ornaments the other day. A friend in south TX wanted to know if I could put their name in it. So I got ahold of Bobby and told him what I wanted, he came up with a spot I could insert a name! After I got it into Inkscape I managed to get the name in it, and out to the shop I went. About 2 hrs. and 47 holes later I dipped it in Watco Natural.

And thanks to Don in Brooklin for helping me with a problem in Inkscape!

Came out great. That name looks a little fragile. No room for error there.

Yea, I think there's going to be 2 or3 more friends with 8 letter last names. Should be interesting. And I increased the size of Bobby's original from 4" to 4 1/2" to fit this! Hope I don't get any longer names.

Gary,  excellent work. My last name has 10, I’ll let you give that one a shot. Then you can mail it to me - I hate trying to do lettering, especially tiny letters.
