This time to PA. Two families are "merging" and wanted somethng special for the occasion. Time to contact the Polish Eagle king. These are both cut from the same 24 x 48 panel and finished measure just under 24" across. House stain with 4 coats of brushed on poly. Betcha they stand out at the party and have a good life after.

John, don't take this wrong, they look great. But when I saw that picture, the first thing that popped into my mind was, those would make fantastic poker chips.

 

[honesttjohn]

Awful big chips. Might be able to do something like that with a laser (which I have sitting in the garage waiting to be unpacked)>

They are great pieces. I know that they will be loved

 

[JOAT]

I'm thinking about 2" by 1/4" would work as poker chips. Should be large enough to not lose heaps of detail, and small enough to work out as chips.

Not a clue how you you would make some, but got my own idea on how to make some - should already have done all the research I will need (for an entirely different project), and now, supposedly, just need to buy a thing or two, then do a bit of 'speermintin'.

Hmm, maybe sink them down a bit, pour in bar top epoxy, and they could be used as serving trays, if someone wanted a personalized serving tray - hang it on the wall as decoration when not being used as a tray.

Hey John:

What type of wood is that?

Just a glued up 24 x 48 pine craft panel from Menards.

All kinds of stuff can be done. But it also comes down to cost and how much people are willing to pay.

Really nice pieces as always . They contacted the right guy

I understand, I just thought the grain was interesting.

Very true, but I am always amazed at how much some people are willing to spend on some things. In your position, I would make one, price it high, and see if it sells.

 

[marecat3]

great looking as usual

I like the vertical grain in the panels you used, it really stands out.

As always I'm sure they will be very happy with their Eagles.
