    Default Farewell gift with laser engraving

    Good Evening All

    Please find enclosed a Jarrah platter I turned for a friend who was leaving Defence. It is approximately 40cm across and finished with 10 coats of Danish oil.

    It was a pleasure to turn as he had provided good advice and assistance to me at work for many years.

    The engraving was done by another mate at JARRAHLASERDESIGN here in Perth.

    I received a call from the recipient who was very happy with it


    Cheers
    Willy

    It looks a million dollars with the laser engraving. Well done!

    Very cool Willy!

    Question: Did the finish go on before or after the engraving???

    I like this idea. I do a lot of 'Beckets' - wooden inserts for polished brass 105mm Howitzer Shells that have been engraved up for the recipient.

    Maybe a Cap Badge laser etched on the top - I'll have to look into this - thanks for the idea.

    I can well understand why this was appreciated by the recipient, well done.

    I usually apply a few coats of the sanding sealer, then a couple of Danish oil, then get it engraved. After it is engraved, I continue to coat the Danish oil onto the platter, which really sets off the engraving, both the burnt timber and the Jarrah
