A guy came into my office at the plant (where I make the money to support my habit) and showed me a picture his daughter had sent him of a sign they wanted made of steel. They had been to a guy with a cnc plasma cutter and were considering buying one of his signs. He asked me if I could make the sign out of wood, then asked if I could put it on a cutting board. My standard response to this type of request is: "If you can get me a high resolution picture, then yes". This was the finished product, Walnut in Hard Maple, delivered today.  |

Nice job, you'd make MTM proud. Thanks, watching his videos is what finally prompted me to get a cnc so I could make these. Now I just need twins running around the shop at the end of each project. :-D  |

I had not. I have watched most of his videos though. I just downloaded it and read through it, though. I have learned never to turn down an offer of advice, even if I think I already know what is being told to me, because there might be some little trick or tip I was unaware of. In this case, I did pick up a few tips on the placement of grain. Thanks for the link. |

I found his information on matching shrinkage across species to prevent cracking really useful.
