[Woodcarver] Light plate switches

Kate:

 

It sounds like you have it all figured out now.  Have fun doing them!

I meant to say no more than ¼ inch.  I don’t think it went through that way.

Thank you, Marilyn and Arthur, for your help.  I had already figured out
that the switch hole and outlet holes on the plates needed to be exaggerated
holes.  I will use a router to make holes a bit bigger but leave a thin
piece of the wood at the bottom of the hole so it looks more normal.  I am
using a band saw to cut the thicker pieces of wood I have to a manageable
thickness.  But I wasn’t sure how thick the wood could/should be.  Would
like to use a variety of wood throughout the house.  Starting with easier
flat incised or recessed carvings on store-bought wooden plates and
graduating up to relief carving later as it goes.  I can always give the
first ones as little gifts.   kate
