Marshall Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 No Kevin - had a friend that had one of those high dollar laser machines cut them out of metal ....it was a pain sanding the back of all of it - just to make it all lay flat and look right . If I was younger I'd have one of those machine too ....But I got a whole truck load of Brazilian Cherry scrapes and that stuff is hard to work with - but Beautiful finished .....MB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Looks great. Thanks for sharing them with us. How thick were the letters? DW Marshall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 DW These letters are at least 1/8' THICK - and the back of them were a pain to dremel them down with it's little sander attachment too . Had to make sure they layed flat with all the metal burned over ....But I'd do it again - I think my son will love it on his wall - for he's a Razorback nut going to every Razorback football game they have even away games . That's his hobby ......thanks for the come backs ......MB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They epoxied it in and the brass that they used was outstanding, wonder if something like that could be done here? Marshall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Posted February 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Never seen that done but it sounds cool ...and as the brass changes colors it would be a nice effect also ...MB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
