My Graveyard

[bignick]

I never knew how long this was going to take me to make all of these tombstones. I thought these would be done in no time but it took me a little over a week to finish them from the time i started.

Here is a close up of a few i have 9 total.

[spideranne]

Great job on those. I'm always amazed at people who can crank out so many and with all the detail too.

[bignick]

Thanks,

I have to reinforce the backs of the tombstones because the wind has them bending and falling over. Thanks again.

Good job. Looks like you have a nice yard/house for a haunt.

[bignick]

Yeah the yard will allow me to put up everything i want to with just enough room inbetween my props.

Nick those are great!! I want some too! How did you get the graphics on there and then carve it so neatly. Excellent job!

[bignick]

Thanks again everybody!

Turtle2778,

For the graphics i used pumpkin stencil cutouts. I first used spray on adhesive to hold doen the image (not alot). I then used an exacto knife to basically trace every design. After that i used my router and because i traced everything with the exacto knife, when i went to route near the traced edges i was left with a clean accurate edge.

[bignick]
