Figured I’d post up the first thing I got paid for, and just like a bunch of recent posts, it’s a sign! I ran into a bit of a snafu in the bit swapping stage and ended up apparently zeroing it a touch lower than the larger bit. Luckily, I was mostly able to correct it by hand with a Dremel as I was on a bit of a time crunch. But they were thrilled with it in such a short time, and it kinda gives it a half-hand carved look. If I thought ahead about it I probably would have tried to shape it better to look on purpose, but oh well.
The finished product:
Here’s the outline mixup:
And corrected afterwards:
It’s done in Poplar, and I thought it was fantastic to work with. I worry it’s a bit too soft and could dent easily, but as long as they were happy, I’m happy.
Looking forward to getting some fun stuff done on this thing!
