For a friend, by a friend. Carved on my router, Corian (black) and
(dark blue) appliqués. Silver leaf and paint skillfully applied by my
friend, a local sign artist.

Looks good! I hope you got a dinner out of it. (Or even got paid for it.)

I took a sketch that the owner did, a rough outline of what he wanted
with "the feel of the company logo"
He is in all aspects 'an engineer' and wanted a 'mechanical' look.
I then created the file in Adobe Illustrator, exported it to Vectric
Aspire and created the tool-paths.
First I cut the foam http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o290/Robatoy/MIGfoa=
m.jpg
then the Corian.
Then my buddy painted it.

You'd make more money if you had fewer friends. ;)

It was a trade. His boys helpe me with two quartz countertop
installations. 975# for one, 1375# for the other... so I guess I made
a few hundred.

Looks great! I bet the owner wants perfection being an engineer. Those guys
can be so anal! Can you explain how you did it?
