For Christmas, I made my daughters each a plaque with their baptismal certificate lazered into the surface. They are walnut burl which I resawed from a slab, then jointed and joined to make bookmatched blanks. I then tries some string inlay for decoration. Each was to be 1/2" thick.
Plans to me are just suggestions. (Not by choice, but by error correction) as they came out just a bit over 1/4" thick each after the three times I finished, sanded and re-finished them. Here it is over two weeks after Christmas and I am putting the final coat of lacquer on today.
I envisioned them as wall hangings with a wire strung across the back to mount on a wall. 1/4" is a tough thickness to put mounting screws into. Any ideas on what I could use to hold mounting hardware onto the rear of my creations?
