Hi all,
This post isn't totally related to the making of a box, but it is in association with a finished box. Today I happened to come by a very old pantograph engraving machine. I actually used one similar to this about 25 years ago, borrowed it from a mate, then at the time I purchased a computer engraver. Had a sideline back then doing trophies and engraving.
Anyway, I digress. I've had thoughts of putting initials, most likely a woman's,.......onto the lid or lid insert on a timber jewellery box. Perhaps this might look totally trashy, I really don't know.
When I get this old pantograph sorted out and up and running, and if I can engrave into the timber, I am envisaging the cut will be about 3mm or so. Any suggestions on how to make this engraving stand out on the timber. On other products they used to use a paint fill, but I doubt that would work on timber.
And then of course I would want to apply danish oil/wax over the top.
Any thoughts,....??
Regards, Paul
