A while back, I created a gift for some relatives to use at their wedding reception. The idea was to create a monogram of their initials, and then to carve it as a decoration in the colors they had chosen for the wedding. Also, it needed to be lite weight. They wanted to easily hang it on a wall without having to put in any nails and/or screws. In fact, they wanted to hang it from a vent high up on the wall. I decided insulation foam was just the ticket. It turned out to be very popular. I have done a couple more since then, but the most common request was for them to be larger. I generally decided to not do them until I got a larger machine and could do them more efficiently.
Now that the Christmas rush has calmed a bit, I took some time this morning to design a sample. In this case, it's carved in 2" thick foam...and carved with a "V" shaped router bit. I'll prime it, and then paint it in some popular wedding colors. This one is 4 feet tall by a little over 3 feet wide.
While I love my The Wrights sign... this is very cool. My goddaughter is getting married next June, so if you need a guinea pig for colors, sizes, anything like that - I hear her wedding coordinator would be a breeze to work with. At least I think so...
ReplyDeleteDone. I'll contact you...she's getting married. Wow. When did this time rocket launch? I wasn't alerted.
