This custom request hit home for me, I kept reminiscing the memories I have growing up with my grandpa ❤️
Over the last couple months I've been teaching myself different techniques and using hand tools vs all on the laser and this sign was just that. I started off on a real pine wood slab, engraved it, which actually took an hr! And then used my jigsaw to cut out the shape, finished it off with my dremel. I stained it with a natural color and it came out too light to my liking so I decided to do something I've never done before...I grabbed my dark walnut stained and went over the engraved areas. That feeling of accomplishing something that made me step out of my comfort zone is the exact reason why I love making things! I took pictures at different angles and lighting because it came out sooo beautifully 😍 🤍
