Looking for ideas

[aslrookie]

I drew this out a few months ago and then it’s just been sitting. My original thought was a small table, but I’m not very creative. Anyone have ideas for what this could be?

My original thought was to burn the drawing into the wood and then stain and coat.

Veneer.

Carve/rout out the design, and 'fill' it with veneer. Use a few different woods in your veneers, for the different parts.

Make it a little thinner, put some leather straps on the back, a metal boss on the front, and you might have yourself a neo-Viking shield.

There is only one answer to this: Put a big Hide logo on it!

Engrave something like ''Survivor of 2020 toilet paper war''

Turn it into a large clock? My wife's family had to take down an old barn that was over 100 years old, so I made this for her using a few salvaged boards.

Home Depot sells the Ridgid mini router for under a $100 if you don’t already have one, a lot easier to use for projects/finish work then the bigger routers. Take the design down 1/8 of an inch, stain, then fill it with bar top epoxy. If you want it colored places sell a wide array of colored epoxies. Do a test run on scrap wood as air bubbles can be a bee-yotch to get out if you haven’t practiced. Good luck!

Route out the design deep enough to lay led strips on the bottom. Fill over the led strips with a light colored epoxy. Sand with fine grit the epoxy to get it the same height as finished wood surface. Finish the rest of the top as you see fit. You will of course have to drill through the back somewhere to run wires for the leds. That would make a cool table top or wall hanging light.

This was my first thought. An overlay. I made this in high school and then poured that clear 2 part epoxy over it. Its oak, cherry and walnut.

The clock idea mentioned about could also be cool. Use bullets of different calibers to mark the hours. Say .50BMGs for 3, 6, 9, and 12, then .308s for the rest. Klockit.com has movements and tons of clock parts.

I know it’s been a while, but the wife and I made some progress. She likes to do little projects like this as well. My next thought is clear coat it to provide moisture protection.

We were thinking it would make a nice patio table for small things like card games or drinks.

Use it as a wall hanging with a montage of targets that you've shot or pictures of you shooting. Clear coat it and it will be a time capsule for you and your family.
