Title: Pine Princess update...Vegas Display, BYOAC plaque, GameRoom Sign.
Post by: Donkey_Kong on June 22, 2007, 04:23:02 pm
Well I know there are at least a few princess carving fans here at BYOAC that like to keep up with her most recent work.

See the LONG awaited BYOAC plaque carved and painted in the pics for one of Princess fans MameMaster!

Also, The GameRoom Magazine logo. It measures 40" by 7"!! It is awesome...Kevin Steele from GameRoom magazine will be offering casts of this sign.

On Display in Vegas A lot of times it is very hard to capture the 3-D aspect of her carvings with a camera. So if you have always wanted to see her work, touch it and see the detail that goes into The Princess' carvings for yourself. They will be on display and available for purchase at Billiards N More in Las Vegas (http://www.billiardsnmore.com/index.html).

Some more pics.


Note: Just disregard the shots of the unfinished Mame cab. The BYOAC plaque makes a really nice monitor, I might just leave it like that...  ;D

Here are some non arcade related projects princess has just finished up.

The first is for BYOAC member Sherdian, who's wife just had a baby girl. It is for the door of her bedroom (in case that isn't obvious).  :D

Wow, that's awesome...

I'm gonna keep you guys in mind for anything similar that may come up around me... I have family with new members on the way, so there could definitely be some takers..

Thanks guys. If you only had a clue how hard she works on this stuff. She works 7 days a week, carving and painting. She can carve about anything. Straight lines and or straight letters aren't impossible but she prefers curves. IE curved letters are great.

Organic, I would love to see you design something original and have her carve it. 

Here are a couple more...

It still looks the same. :'( I haven't had time to finish start it yet. I have a few projects like that, I want to do them but no one ordered it so it gets put to the side while I work on paying jobs. Hopefully now that I have a nice work shop with AC I will get a chance to work on it.



Wow! It is even better than I thought it would be! Awesome work. :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

Thanks Shardian!! I am glad you like it!  :)

Melissa & Jason,

Thanks again for the great BurgerTime and Mr. Do! carvings.  They arrived yesterday in perfect shape. 
The BurgerTime characters are my favorite so far.   Also, glad to hear you have AC in your workshop........
it's been in the 90's over here in WI.

Wow DK, that stuff looks great.

I've been away from this board (and the other one) for awhile, and I come back, and she doing great. (saw the cover of the retroblast too.... :applaud:

I loved the woodwork she was doing last year, and the castings she's doing now are amazing!

Please pass along the kudos to the princess, and good luck!

/points to the follow-up message I sent you a weekish ago. Oh, and I forgot sizes....honestly not sure what would make those look good, somewhere around the same size as your Dig-dug and DK ones, I would guess.

malenko- She is getting close on these two MK pieces. The character is a Sub Zero look alike in the making. One cool thing about this particular piece is that his right foot sticks straight out allowing him to stand on a table.

These two pieces are still unspoken for.


Edit: Noticed something in the pic of the MK Dragon plaque. Need to put it on the belt sander and round it out good.  ;D
