Select the 3/4" material and trace the pattern
Select the 3/4" material and using a band or scroll saw, cut out the Plaque up to the line (leave the lines showing)
Sand all the edges smooth to the drawn lines
Router the face-front edges with a quarter-round bit deep enough to leave a 1/16" lip
Fill all holes and cracks with filler; and sand the top and bottom surfaces
Apply poly and hanging hook
