I uploaded the wrong picture.
Yes, it was a first try. I always let students go ahead and machine if they haven't flipped the image. It becomes a great teachable moment for the rest of the class. Mistakes aren't a bad thing as long as you learn from them.
The design was done in QuickCam 2D, after the part was cast in pewter, sandblasted, then the raised image was lightly sanded to bring out the lettering.
