Nice carvings would be running it on a CNC sign router dealie, so it should be relief carved, seems to me. --- End quote --- Not so much, Melissa volunteered to carve the statues in the round. These aren't going to be CNC'd copies but hand carved custom pieces of art on a limited run of 5. That is why she asked for 3D renders. She can take a 2D image and sculpt that but the 3D helps. They initially recommended doing a 3D Cab on a platform with the BYOAC logo on the side or screen. Monument is an apt word, as is statue. Plaque or plate is really not exploring the depth of what Nice Carvings can produce. |

If someone gives me a sketch of what the relief carving should be I'll do another version of the design I did per BobA's suggestion but all in timber. I think it should still be done in two parts i.e. the round plaque done in light colored timber, the base in dark. If you want an idea of how effective this looks check out some of the detail on Pixelhugger's cabinet, he has combined light and dark timber to great effect. |

Hey guys, sending Melissa a reminder link to the thread here. Would like for her to weigh in on everything. Thanks for the help! I don't think she would be apposed to using the cnc for at least part of the project, like for sure any text. |

Thats really cool of them and a lot of work to take on, Kudos to Nice Carvings. Agree w/Ond, different colors/species of wood can be combined to nice effect, as shown on mission control. |

I think doing a center with this on one side maybe the 2007 token back on the other would be cool. Then do an outer ring with space invader character in alternating raised and bas relief or something. |
