Popular Post heppnerguy Posted March 31, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 My Granddaughter and her husband are in the process of moving into their brand new home so I thought they might like to have a name plaque by their front door to greet visitors. It is also only about a week away from their 20 anniversary so I added their marriage year to it also. I copied the idea for it from something I saw on line. I used a #3 Pegas MGT blade and cut it into what I believe to be Mahogany 3/4 inch base. All of the like colored wood I received from my son and I am not sure of the species of it. I mailed it out this morning so I will not get a response for a few days.

It was good to have a purpose for my shop time. I was happy to find I had some wood that I also enjoyed cutting it from. The wood was given to me from my son who owns a garage door company and had just built a special order door from him that was sent to Hawaii. He often will offer me some left over wood if I want it.

It was too narrow but I had enough length that I cut it in half and then was able to glue the two sides together, making it wide enough to make it work. Thanks for the nice comments. I do appreciate you taking your time to post them. Dick heppnerguy Dak0ta52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
