Wooden Porsche Emblem
I thought I'd share this with yall. I like to woodwork and I am building this emblem for a buddy of mines garage for xmas. its takin me about 10 hours or so so far. Its made out of birch and stands about1 ft 10in tall. I am in the process of painting it now . I had used my drimel to carve out the design in the pic as you see it. Well post new pic once painted. Anyway here it is.

Steve,
That is a great example of what we call rubble or mosaic mural. Must have taken hours/days. We have customers where I work that do that for a vocation. Yours is particularly good in that the inner shield is so well outlined/defined. I've been toying with the idea of doing one but have decided that it would be quicker to have the design fired on to a 12x12" ceramic tile. Now I will have to rethink this.
Envious,
Dennis

Dennis,
I don’t have the time or talent to make that crest. I found a site in the UK that sells them. It was cheaper for me; time wise and faster to buy it. There is a girl on the 944 board that is making one out of glass. I was told tile last a life time

I am off to the shop to work on a valve body.

I dont know How much I would sell them for. It taken me about 10 hours or so to get paint on it. All so thought of a really dark stain for the black areas of the emblem to show the wood grain and continue with the yellow/gold and red for other parts. Also thought of taking a silhouette of a 928 and crave it into wood.
