Had a few co-workers ask me to make a few items. . .not in my normal repertoire. . .
First for a very senior co-worker, he asked for a name plaque. Simple. He will put a pair of devices we wear on our uniforms onto the sides and have a plaque made up at a local shop. This is his 5th command as the Command Master Chief (Navy for those who've never heard of it.)
Just a simple 16x3 base with 14x4 and 1/2" coves cut out all around then a 45 on one long edge of the 14x4. Golden Oak stain with a double shot of semi-gloss poly.
Next is a combo coin-rack, shelf and triple bat holder. . . Three bats can hang by their handles down from this once he mounts it on the wall in his office.
I decided to try something a tad different on this one. Twin rows in the front about 1/4" deep and 3/16" wide at a 10 degree angle for the coin rack part. Decided to go from front to back on the sides also at a 10 degree angle w/my incra miter. Went with a very dark stain I let sit for about an hour before wiping off and also followed up with two coats of semi-gloss poly.
I know they're not spectacular, but both were made from scrap around my garage. . . Thanks for looking!

...guess you could say I'm a "crack" addict!
