Looking for someone to cnc some small wood parts

Welcome Shawn(?). I see by your profile that you are in North Carolina. How large and of what and how heavy as it may have to be shipped to you?

Welcome to the forum! When you get a minute go ahead and complete your profile with first name.

Like Charles said; how many, how large, do you have dimensions, etc.? Where did you get your sample? Could they only cut one for you?

David

What material and how many, Shawn? Just the standard Lionel logo 'L', I assume...

David

Thanks, David The cases will be made out of poplar and oak so either one of them. Yeah the round L logo.

If you get desperate, Shawn, you could always resort to a label maker, combined with a 3-D printer logo (unfortunately you'd have to go looking for someone to do those as well.)

Unfortunately, if you are looking for hardwood (or any kind really), someone will have to plane or re-saw thicker stock to come up with a final thickness of 1/4 inch. More overhead unless whoever you use decides to buy the stock from a supplier that has already created the thickness...and the overhead will be built in to the cost of the material.

At least that is the way I see it.

What will the final finish be - paint or stain? That could make a difference since mdf is available in 1/4 inch thickness and paints well.

Here is an option for material.
