Hello to all my new Sawmill Friends!!
You all have been so kind and helpful in the past, I am hoping you can come through for me again.
I have a very specific request for me to cut out a tree..around the 12 x12 size..larger would even be better. I am wondering where I can find sheets of 1/4" wood that is prefinished that would be large enough. I would love to use alder but can't find it greater than 5 or 6 inches wide. I may end up deciding to do it out of acrylic but am not ready to give up yet. It's supposed to be a tree with 8 apples (for each of this man's 8 kids) and the apples would be engraved. I'm not sure if I should do the apples from colored acrylic, LaserBrass, wood also or what. Any help on design or supplier would be appreciated.
Thanks all!!
Beck
