I am sure its going to look great. I still would like to see a pic of the finished project. Also after seeing you plaque I had to get centerline add-on. That really tied it together. Again, nice job on the design.

Here are pics of the final result. I added vector carves on the tires to create the illusion of wheels for more detail. It was carved on a nice piece of poplar I had, 12" wide and perfectly flat with some nice color. After clean up, I put a coat of poly on, but it didn't look good as the vehicles didn't "pop" out like I wanted. I went back and put a coat of golden pecan stain, a light color, which added just enough in some of the details to create shadows and make it pop a little better. Couple more coats of clear and it was done. I considered painting the lettering but I kind of liked the random burn marks left by the bit. I mailed it out yesterday, haven't heard from the customer yet but i'm sure he will love it. Thank you again for all the help with this, you guys are amazing!
