Kyokushin Karate plaque

I don't remember if I ever posted pics of this plaque I made a while back, a co-worker teaches at this dojo.
Walnut, oil finish.

Wow, looks awesome, I am sure he was very pleased. Must have been a sanding nightmare on all those flames

Actually, very little sanding needed. Did this on best setting. I used scotch-brite disk and dremel. Maybe 5 minutes just to remove the few fuzz left by the machine.
The walnut is a reject piece from a hardwood floor manufacturer, the customer loved the cracks and defects of this particular piece. I took the model from their T-shirt and reconstructed it using artcam.

That looks great! I also like the natural defects in the wood - Natures Art.

That's cool, I have been using some black walnut that I got a good deal on and it seems the hairs of the grain stand up as fast as I can knock them down. Of course I am in Florida and the humidity is ridiculous...

Again, nicely done.
