Name Plate

Project by AkumAnubis posted 554 days ago 427 views 0 times favorited 13 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This is a name plate I made for my wifes desk at work. It is carved with handtools from one solid piece of 6.75” x 4.75”x 7/8” basswood. The finish is one coat of 50/50 BLO and mineral spirits, and one coat of matte enamel. It remains upright via a 1/4 plywood leg attached to the back with a hinge.

That is really cool, although I must say I can’t quite determine her name. Unless she is called “Mousie”. :-)

Yeah, I can see now it is Wendy. I could make out the “END” but not the “W” and “Y” at first.

Thanks for all of the comments. The reason for the mouse is that my wife is a biologist and one of the organisms of study are mice and rats, and she if very fond of them.

This is a nice piece. I love the details that you put into this.

Well done.
