Hack of the Week No.95

With Easter coming up this weekend we thought it might be a good time to create a hack with more of a religious theme.

This "Be Blessed" wall decoration was created using models from these projects:

The font we used to simulate the v-carving is called: Academia SSK

Note - This hack was assembled in Aspire V8 for presentation purposes.  It could have been done in VCarve Pro V8 or VCarve Desktop.

Very nice hack James!

James Patton sent in this finished piece after we released the hack.

"So this hack inspired me to create my own.

The ribbon and panel were included with the VCarve software. The cross from the praying (cowboy) scene and the rose from the broken tiles collection.

Just thought I’d share..."

Update - March 4th, 2016

We opened our email today to find this great finished version of this Hack of the Week from James Patton!

"Carved this one for the wife’s classroom. (she teaches avid, kind of like college prep classes), She loved it.
Carved in brown maple, Turned out to be about an 11” x 16” project. We liked the white of the maple, I decided to just put a few coats of semi gloss on it and not stain it at all. The lettering I think I did in Royal Blue..
Thanks for another great hack..."

What a nice job and we sure are glad she liked it!!
