It’s November 2016 and I’ve cut my first wood letter. An S, out of beech wood, with some help from my friend Alex who has a woodworking shop.

December 2016 — finally found a timber yard in București that has cherry. Went and bought from them about five or six wooden boards. Alex helped with the haul.

Spray painted some letters from the first batch that were not mirrored on the CNC’s software. Still look good around the office.

Cut in cherry wood at 14 line in size, not end-grain (‘cause I couldn’t get that right the first time — though the effect on paper will be pretty interesting); done with help from Adi at Soft Room Design.
