Hey Surreal Jerry

[roadifier]

Nice job! they look great!

And are some of those things in the scrap pile carpet knives? it looks like they have blades. if they are, they are the coolest carpet knives I've seen

 

[Bob Savage]

Are you making those on a CNC milling machine Bob ? As a hobby ?

Thought you were in the IT business ?

Yep, I've got a 3 head CNC router with a 4'x8' usable space table (machine is effectively 10.5'x6.5'). I am in IT... just tend to be a bit OCD about my "hobbies."

I think what you're seeing are tap handles for beer kegs. Only some of them have the ferrule installed which is the shiny part you're seeing. I'll post some close ups of some handles I've made a little later.

Here's a handle I made using quarter sawn Cherry and Birdseye Maple for the case. Both are stained "vintage cherry."

I know it's not what you want, so into the scrap pile they go but first, a picture of the badge on amp, as promised (in Birch).

Mr. Savage, you're truly an artist.

Thanks Jimmie... very kind of you.

The case and handle are both beautiful! What do you use to carve them?

Thanks Zach. The basic workflow is CAD/CAM application for design, setup and run job on CNC, hand sanding/scraping and then lacquer.

nice work man - that's a really cool logo for Surreal. Even if it wasn't done out of wood, that would look cool as a metal badge on the amp.

Matt! Man, I forgot how beatiful that figured Walnut is.

Sure, let's talk. With hardwood cabinets we could do the Surreal badge using an inlay in the front panel.

That is some nice work!

I sent off a check to Neil so I should have a logo for you to gander at and see if you can make something for me. Cool guy Neil. Thanks for the contact.

Very cool! I'll get in touch with Neal to get a vector based copy. Let's talk about what you're looking for and we'll get the ball rolling.
