Seriously, I have "been asked" / "volunteered" to make a series of
award plaques for our research technicians at work. I am going to use
Ipe because I was able to collect hundreds of BF scrap from a trellis
that was erected outside of my lab and the research committee (and I )
thought that using this wood would be keeping some "conceptual
continuity" and would add to the importance of the award (plaque).
My design had a grooved borader on the front with rounded over edges
and a key slot in back to allow for it to be hung or propped up on a
shelf. The rest of the committee wanted their logo - a double strand
of DNA - across the top of the plaque.
This has me thinking; how do I do that? One idea was to make two jigs
with a bandsaw, one for each strand, and then rout them with a very
fine pointed bit, going in opposite directions. Any other
suggestions? Thanks in advance,
Marc
