I don't share nearly as often as I should but here is a Replica AH-1W Tail Rotor Blade that I did for the outgoing Sergeant Major. The Patch and Logo are both raised. I thought of doing two carves to "inlay" the carvings but the raised look gives it a bit of a 3d effect and it look great on the wall. I was just asked to do another for our outgoing XO. I have been told that this is now the "prestigious" gift for when people leave.

another awesome carve and another awesome example of how we can use our skills to recognize those that deserve it (and a few that don't)

Great out-of-the-box thinking - thanks for taking the time to share it with us - Well done indeed (and I love the paint jobs too)

Very different. Quite a pain actually. I found a painter at work who is cheap but loves to paint so for now I don't have to paint. These things are getting popular though. The only real bad part is that its a 9+ hour carve on normal. And my dust collector just went kaput. So another thing to fix...
