jbrowning Posted March 17, 2016 Report Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) So I finally finished my first name plate after throwing away a lot of them. I figured I would start with a easy name....Jim. This was made out of my pallet wood I got last Friday. I am thinking this is oak, but I might be incorrect. The plate is roughly 6" wide, probably 3-3.5" tall and .50" thick. There hasn't been any sanding done to these. I am hoping to look into that this weekend. Thanks for looking. I know it's pretty easy stuff. But I'm pretty proud of myself. Now I'm going to work on one for each of my daughter in laws. Basically like this but maybe cowboy boots or cowboy hat in the corners. Jim Maybe something like this.

DAdams Posted March 17, 2016 Report Posted March 17, 2016 You did Very nice Job. I think you are right about the wood it looks like Oak. Can't wait to see what else you do in a name plate. Quote
Phantom Scroller Posted March 17, 2016 Report Posted March 17, 2016 Jim you should keep the one from before and date it after a few more you will look back and say to yourself look how far I've come since that date. Keep at it good work. Roly Quote
heppnerguy Posted March 17, 2016 Report Posted March 17, 2016 I like your idea, Roly. My wife has a piece of intarsia I did for her, hanging on the wall. I walked up and took a look at it and discovered that i did it in 2007. My how time flies. it looks pretty good too. Maybe I am losing my skills as I age. . It is a great Idea to date things and see how you levels of workmanship compare. I still have the very first wood intarsia piece and I did that one on my band saw. Dick heppnerguy Quote
Lucky2 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Posted March 18, 2016 Looks nice Jim, I think it is white oak. Len Quote
