the medallion looks amazing. how do you fill in the gaps between the logo and the routing? i cannot tell by looking at the finished picture vs the one where you just did the routing that it is the same wood piece. do you put sawdust in the epoxy?
i understand about the dutchman keys, a friend of mine owns 1300 acres in VA and her barn is so old it is pegged together with old growth oak beams. the house is not antibellum though it burnt and was rebuilt in the early 1900's but the day kitchen is prewar as well as the cabin which was the original slave quarters. its quite an old farm. the last time i was there i walked around and noticed stuff like that and then found some civil war musket/mini balls laying in her field.
i love the old world craftsmanship you are applying in this build.
