This is by far my favorite thing I’ve made with my yet. It’s a Christmas gift for my in laws (John and Alexis, of course) made from Walnut and Draftboard.
I was initially going to cut the names from another type of wood - and I still might - but I loved the contrast so much that I stuck with it as is.
You have some of the cleanest designs! This looks great! The background design looks kind of like some detail on a juke box. Also, I agree with you…the draftboard looks really good against the walnut.
Thank you! And I am looking forward to being inspired by everything you all make! I spend a silly amount of time looking through all of the amazing things here to give me ideas for what I can do.
Thank you! I do web and graphic design so I have folders filled with vectors shapes and patterns, so I dig through them and chose this one for the flowing curves and overall shape to give the background behind the names some personality.
I’m going to keep working on various approaches to give each thing more visual interest and depth as I go.
Everything I make is typically on a screen or printed on something flat, so this is new territory for me to explore.
