I power carved a huge sign out of white oak and walnut and laser cut the logos and text. I used various #woodworking machines to accomplish this look. I first milled up the wood by using a jointer and planer. I then ripped everything down on my table saw before doing 4 separate glue ups. I then used my track saw to cut the white oak and inlay some walnut. Once the sign was all dry, I traced out my design and used my new favorite power carving tools, the Arbortech turbo plane and contour sander. I then got to use the Nasum A5 Pro 40W #laser to cut 1/4" walnut. The laser is a fantastic new upgrade to the workshop. I finished everything off with some odies oil. Watch this entire build from start to finish! #sign.

    This is literally one of the most underrated sculpturing channels I’ve ever seen. It’s crazy how 96% of people don’t subscribe, don’t let that demotivate you though. I would be surprised if you don’t have a video that goes viral. Amazing build today!

    Blake, I’d be extremely proud to have my business advertised and identified by such incredible artwork and pure talent!!! Great job‼️‼️‼️
  • @scottbagley2430
    Great video. From a woodworker, just a tip, especially if you’re ripping to smaller pieces. Rip to slightly larger than finished width (+1/4”), then run 1 face on jointer, then plane to thickness (jointed face down), then run edge on jointer and rip on table saw. This will get you truly square pieces that are also flat. Thanks again!

    This sign is more then amazing. And I subscribed after watching your first video. Wood working, building houses, & wood turning are things I watch rather than the junk on tv. Thanks for sharing your work.
  • @matthewcook953
    Awesome work as always Blake, the contours of the carving looks amazing. A well executed build. Top respect from the UK 🇬🇧. Oh and just one other thing but this to all who watch, hit that subscribe button it doesn't cost anything. Cheers Blake

    Great build! I’m really getting into some power carving too. I love it! Love that laser and everything about it: easy to assemble, easy to use and the cost! Thanks and can’t wait to see the next one👍🏼
