My association, like many others I'm sure, has a trophy awarded at the AGM. This particular one (A smallish cup) was donated many years ago, and we have now run out of room to engrave any more names.
We would like to continue with this cup, so exploring what the options are for adding more engraving space.
The obvious answer is to add a base, to which plates can be attached. The cup base is round - so I was thinking round base..
Does anyone have experience making such a thing? I presume it must be FAIRLY straight forward?
Is there a particular type of wood that's needed, or is it just anything, turned well, and well finished?
What would I need to make the base truly black. Perhaps critically - is this a bad idea for a first project - with only 2 weeks to go ?
