A raster image of a Porsche 356 in pine. A car which he just did a restoration of. I just did a screen cap of an online image, used a mild gaussian filter and imported the image. There are some strange textures, parts that curved out instead of in. But if the lighting is correct the shadows work well.
A Centerline Porsche logo in pine.
A house sign of oak in an Arts and Crafts style. I painted the letters with a cherry stain and finished with tung oil

Thanks everyone.

Very cool that you were born in Stuttgart aokweld101.
The 356 carve looks very strange when not under the correct lighting so I bet the light box would work great.
The Logo is actually a font. if you message me I can give you the font.

All great- but the house sign is my favorite (I'm a sucker for greene and greene...)

Picked up about 10 orders from the Shrine Black Horse Patrol. Started out as 2 orders, then the word got out. Came out pretty nice. I used Poplar and stained it with Cherry and turned out pretty nice. Thanks to those I asked for advice on trying some stain on poplar.
I'm having a heck of a time trying to rotate the picture. I've resized it AND rotated it, saved it and when I upload it ... still comes out turned. I did notice that if I click it and then click it again to view in the browser it comes out OK. Anyone have a clue?

Jerry....even looking sideways at your sign it is awesome. Having 10 orders for the same sign will certainly keep you busy for awhile.

Carvings look great.

I really love the Porsche 356 the most.

Great job.

Here is the latest sign. I am waiting for input from the customer as to the final finish.
I got the patterns from CNCminiprojects.
The skull is in pine, the board in cedar. I used some coloured stain pens to colour the rope on the horns and the letters
Then I rubbed Briwax lightbrown wax on the rest.
The skull was a 2 hour carve and the back board was a three hour carve

This is a paint station for painting gaming models. I made this as a gift. it will be in a prize package for a painting contest.
It is made of 1/2 inch baltic birch ply. I carved the logo and the text with a 60 degree vbit set at .034 then I stained the cuts with Briwax
