This customer approached me with their logo and asked to have it made into a 3D sign.
The first step was to design the CNC work paths…
Once all the components are made, we clean them up and start painting.
Once painting is complete, assembly begins, gluing and screwing…
Finished pics!

I have had my eye on this paint product from Modern Masters and gave it a try on a relief carving made out of HDU that I made for a recent project.
First, you apply the metal effects primer…
Then apply the 2 coats of the iron paint…
Then apply several coats of the rust activator spray. The rust increases with each application…
Now you have a rusted metal sculpture!!! (at least the illusion of one) There is one more step I don’t have a picture of and it’s a clear sealer that prevents the iron from oxidizing any more. I am very pleased with this product.

A customer showed up with this log disk he cut with his chainsaw. He and his wife are from Ireland and speak fluent Gaelic. They asked me to carve this saying into the wood as a gift for their friend. It means something like “there is no one like him”.( I could totally be messing that up)
