I got a request to do a large plaque that measures 30" x 28" and needs to be made of something like red alder or cherry wood. I need to engrave a photograph of a fish on it and it will serve as a perpetual award. I've made dozens of smaller plaques for these folks up to 15" but can't find anything larger than that. Living on a small island in the middle of ocean makes it even harder to find things. My friends on the creek have never let me down before, please help me again:)

Hummm That might be kinda tough on a 24 x 36 laser bed.

You may check the CNC side, a routed fish at the top may by cool and give it a more 3D effect.

Knowing what small Island in the middle of what Ocean could help someone direct you to a source.. I have a supplier in Ontario 'Canada' that could make one from Red Alder, and probably ship it to you!

Big Sky Woodcrafters would also be able to do this.

Where are you located? If you are in Hawaii on Oahu, I can give you a couple of phone numbers.
