Nicely done, Ray!
I think the reason it was as tight as it came out, is that I vised it up in an 8 inch vise on my workbench. I cranked it down tight. Not just a little pressure with a c clamp ,,Nice tight fit. Passed wife's inspection no doubt.
I just carved them out in v carve pro and flipped it and cut it out in the purple heart. I used a white side 60 degree v bit to cut it all. i had the time but it took a long time, instead of using an end mill to get the worst of the excess out.Nice result, Ray
How did you do the letters?
Hay Ray, Looks great, Congratulations 👍I always way to much over think these things, and this was no exception. But it turned out a lot more easy than the effort I put into it. A piece of oak with purpleheart inlayed with my wife's, { the boss of me!} name. I cut it all out with a 60 degree white-side v bit. and glues it up and put in my work vise over night. My grand father's bandsaw is too short to cut it out , so I vised it up again and it cut it out with my handy-dandy Japanese cross cut saw,, brand new , very sharp. Sanded it down.
Turned out pretty good!
You all have a great rest of the week ,
God Bless you all ,
Ray
