Razorback Plaque Design

[Marshall]

Had a friend cut these metal letters and the hog out for me and I finished the Brazillian Cherry board out { Hard to Router too } and routered it and sanded the letters and hog out and painted all and installed the meteal pieces and the hanging chain for me and one for my son ....any comments welcomed

Perfect design Marshall.Were the letters scroll sawn?

[Marshall]

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

Looks great. Thanks for sharing them with us. How thick were the letters?

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

I saw a version of this done with the metal inlaid into the wood. They epoxied it in and the brass that they used was outstanding, wonder if something like that could be done here?

[Marshall]

Never seen that done but it sounds cool ...and as the brass changes colors it would be a nice effect also ...MB
