Proud American

[woodgraver]

Here is a plaque I made for my entry way. It is Radiata Pine from Australia and waterfall burl veneer Bubinga from Africa. I built a vacuum system and laminated the veneer to the pine and then used a CNC machine to do the 3d milling and v-carving. I then used some dark cherry stain to glaze the eagle and flag. It's a pretty spendy piece at $40 in materials and 6 hours of CNC time...sure do hope no one decides to steal it!

Great looking plaque! But couldn't help but notice the irony of making a "Proud American" plaque out of Australian and African wood. :tongue:

LOL I was thinking the same thing. Very impressive plaque none the less.

That is awesome work. I would be proud to have that caliber of work hanging in my home. Keep your door locked.
