scorched sign test

[Dan Noren]

i thought that i would give this a try. first i scorched the pine blank with a torch, then sanded lightly with 220. then i have given it a coat of boiled linseed oil. once i get done with the gears, i will carve the sign and see how it goes. once done, it gets a quick coat of shellac.

finished this test today, after the last gear was done. set up the text and font, and the gcode. after carving the text, gave it a good coat of shellac.

That added some nice contrast to it Dan, love the quote. That and the one that goes 'My wife just stopped and said, "You weren't even listening, were you?" I thought, "That's a pretty weird way to start a conversation."'
