Wood Plaques

[RVA]

I wanted to get handy with my new trim router, so I bought some etching bits in addition to the edge bits I already had. I have been proiacticing on 2x4 pieces I had lying around

My first attempt, freehand , for my paralegal Ali's nephew



My second piece for my legal secretary Raquel's son. I used a stencil I made on a printer for this one



2 works in progress, one for my niece Giuliana and one for Ali. I am starting to get the hang of this

At first I thought that these were going to be the names of your guitars ;-)

Please explain!

Please explain!

I just found a cool font, enlarged the words to about 86 point, printed, and taped it to the wood. Then I etched right through it with the router.

That needs a steady hand - nice work. How long before some flat-fronted guitars get the treatment?

Thank you! And that is not a bad idea!!

Nice job Ray, looks like you're getting a lot steadier.
You will soon be one with the router, young grasshopper.

You'll be doin' freehand pickup routes in your sleep in no time.:dood:

Very nice work! How much you charge?

 

[RVA]

Thanks everyone. When people see their name on a plaque, it seems to make them very happy, so I am having great fun.

Very nice work! How much you charge?

Free of charge for you Session!

You can start with one of your PRS's. Etch "MR TUNERS" on it. Then personally gift it to Paul Reed Smith. Dont forget to take videos...

I need to find me a pedal that I can click to get me back in the mood. I'm having a tough time going into the shop and picking up my guitar for that matter.

Learning a new song you love helps too

Don't use it you lose it Truss_rod. You need to get back in that shop and play. You would almost think I was an Instructor.
