Wooden plaque from Padauk wood

This is a plaque made from Padauk wood. The words trigger a lot of family memories.
The base is made from Padauk wood, cut with a jigsaw to at an angle.
The letters are cut out of Neem wood. They are cut with the proxxon DS 230E scroll saw.  They are fixed with small headless nails. Even headless nails cause these small letters to split. To prevent this one has to cut off the heads of the headless nails. A pilot hole also has to be drilled.
I like the natural red color of Padauk wood.
The finish is Asian Paints Polyurethane exterior glossy coating.
