Just trying out more things. Don't know if this is good or not. I'm not
excited about the stag head, but I suppose your monogram would work, too.
Not excited about the pattern on light wood, either .. on dark wood it looks
great. But .. don't have permission to use logos yet (pending) so I'm trying
some alternatives.

If someone wants their own blanks done, send me a PM. I don't have any
antler to try it out.

Mounting screws are optional :tongue:

I really like that! That is wonderful.

I can send you some antler to try it out on. Shoot me a pm with your address, I am headed to the post office tomorrow, I will send what I can fit in a flat rate box.

Looking Good Charlie! Im guessing its hard to get anything else done with the new toy! Im jealouse. :) You should try a snake skin pattern like on the kimber pistol grip. I wonder if you took your own picture of an actual snake skin if the pattern of the snake would transfer with your laser cuts. Keep up the good work.

I could probably use that to give me a realistic outline, but then would come
the task of turning that into a 3D pattern.. and then making sure the pattern
begins and ends at the same point. Otherwise you get a seam. :eek:

Very impressive. I have some Axis that I would love to get you to do some work on. Would you prefer it rounded to specific dimensions first? Easy enough for me to do and if it will make your life easier - I'd be happy to do so.

Also, would you entertain me providing some ideas regarding patterns and such. There are a few logos that I can easily get permissions for you to use if you want. The only "requirement" might be for us to provide a finished product to the logo owners. :)

Again - fantastic work!

If you turn it to the dimensions you want, that's good. That way you don't
have to rely on my taste in shapes. Besides, if I turn/sand it would take much
longer. Wood chips, sanding dust and laser optics don't get along well.

As for pattern ideas .. sure. send me a PM with some details and I'm sure that
between us we can come up with something..
