    I wouldn't be without this double sided tape. https://www.woodworkingshop.com/search/?search_query=double sided tape I use it to hold wood on sanding shims when sanding intarsia pieces. I also use it a lot for holding small pieces on larger pieces when I want to cut them on my band saw.

    All I can hope for at this time is that my client come back and tells me that is how he wants it, although I have my doubts.

    OMG. I cant believe it. I used what my client gave me and didn't catch it. I showed him a picture of the finished project and he told me he had give me the wrong name but everything else looked great.

    I don't think I will attempt that because it has a 1/4" backer.

    Thanks for your thoughts. Thinking I might make a thin piece to match the plane over the name and inlaying the new name in cedar to match the lettering of "American Airlines." I might play with your idea of putting the date in the same line as the name.

    I am definitely open to suggestions.

    I emailed my client this picture last night. I got a call from him this morning telling me he loved it except for one thing.........the name was spelled wrong. Thank goodness he approved the artwork. Now I have to figure out how to fix it and make it look good.

    I used aspen on the plane. I can also get soft maple that is quite white.

    It measures 23" x 16 1/2". The lettering was quite tricky because it was so small I cut them freehand without stacking them like I would do a regular inlay.

    A tank printer has reservoirs that you fill with bottles of ink. The printers are more expensive to buy but you don't have to buy those expensive ink cartridges.

    I was commissioned to make this plaque for a client who works for American Airlines. He plans to give it to a long time colleague who is retiring after the first of the year. I combined fretwork and intarsia. The lettering was so delicate that I decided to fill it with black wood filler. I used blue pine for the background and frame.

    It's a tank printer.

    I've had this printer about two months and love it. It will print on 13" x 19" paper. That size paper is a bit pricey but I love not having to tape so many patterns together.

    Will the clay sand flat after it is baked?

    I have found that in my area there are a lot of turners and not as many scrollers at the shows I do. Your work is awesome.
