The top of the mailbox came back from my engraver today. I supplied him with a Corel file of the artwork and he used a laser engraver to cut the art in the picture above. The letters are cut about 3/32" deep. The masking tape is on for the engraving process and he leaves it on in case I want to stain / paint the letters a different colour. In this case I'll be staining the whole piece the same colour so I'll remove the tape before starting. Since the laser leaves the letters a bit dark they should be nicely defined in the end result.
I also picked up a set of hinges from the local hardware store. Next I'll chisel out mortises for the hinges then stain the piece.
