My talented granddaughter has auditioned and been accepted as the newest member of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. The choir is broadcast every Sunday morning on the "Music and The Spoken Word" program.
In honor of this event, I carved this plaque for her. The photo is probably not good enough to show the textured background which is an image of the Tabernacle Organ and the Choir.
I created it using Aspire. The wood is a 9 X 12 Cherry board from "Michaels". The finish is one coat of Tung oil. The white letters were painted with white finger nail polish (which I will never use again). The gold letters were painted with Gold tone paint from Walmart.
Carving was done with a 1/32 nose radius carving bit from CarveWright.
Front and Back views are shown.
