DIY Ford 1903 Wooden Logo

Find Material

First find a good material for logo. I used beech wood and cut to size around 200x250x25 mm . Remember wood must be dry!

Engrave Logo

To engrave logo in wood I used cnc router. I prepared template in PDF and EPS files, you can download it below.

Improve Surface

After cnc router surface and side walls aren't look very good. To improve it I used sandpaper and belt sander.

Fill Engrave

To make contrast between engrave and wood, use wood filler. I used dark color. And good advice: better is fill holes with few thin layers than one thick layer :) I filled 3 times. When first layer is dry, use sandpaper and again wood filler, sand papper. When your surface is perfectly flat time to next step.

Paint Logo
