This project is part of a larger project that I have not yet shared (once I do, I’ll put the link here).
Also, the build sequence has enough detail that it is worth a blog – so here we go.
I plan on using a replica of the Volkswagen logo and want to create a blank to provide raw material for future projects. I started with an image pulled from the internet.
I wanted an end grain version of this logo. I spent a bit of time working out a build sequence that would allow me to create a wood version of this. After getting a build process laid out in CAD and dialing in my desired size, I started the build.
The wood choices are maple and walnut. I wanted some dimensional stability so I built up slabs of each type with strips with alternating grain direction.
Some of the parts required a double thickness of the walnut.
After I had my first set of slabs I could start some glue ups.
The assembly is done in 2 halves. We’ll start with the lower half in the next part.
