Latest Plaque

[farmerbw]

Just got this finished Thursday night and shipped out to Arizona Friday. It was ordered as a 80th Birthday present for someone who likes rabbits and hopefully she'll like it.

As usual for me it's pretty simple, just 1/2" BB left over from another project, woodburning and WB stains/poly. It has a keyhole slot for hanging as well as a hole and dowel for sitting on a table if desired.

Thanks guys.

Tony, I just use the 3/8" keyhole bit to make a hole in the bottom center and insert a 3" length of 3/8" dowel. The plaque will stand up with a slight lean for balance. Here's a pic of the back showing the dowel hole. It just takes a little trial and error to figure out how far up to drill the hole for optimal balance. If it's too low it'll fall forward too easily, too high and it doesn't look right due to too much angle. The 1st pic in the original post is with the dowel inserted.
