Hey all!
I got a set of knife scales in the mail today and was hoping to make a prototype of a wooden plaque.
The set came thicker than expected, so I decided to make a card guard instead. I wanted to share my first attempt with you all, and maybe inspire those more talented than I with some project ideas.
I cut the scale to 2"×3" and sanded down the edges, polished to 12,000 grit using micro mesh. I will be doing more cleanup work on the cuts and edges before I start and go more slowly during the process next time. I was too excited and wanted to pump this out today to care for ultimate precision.
My next prototype is going to be some plaques, experimenting with wood burning the denominations in them. I may start to do designs as well on some scrap pieces (suit symbols, initials, etc.) On this card guard prototype, I think I'll try my hand at adding a spade or something on here tomorrow.
What do you all think? Any of you wanna do some cool stuff like this with me? I'd love to see this be a trend in custom plaques.
