I Was asked if I could make a cemetery marker so I I contacted Foundry Joe bout one of his polymer patterns and it worked a treat, if anyone needs a pattern made I can recommend them, they are very easy to get along and they go out of their way to accommodate you.Plaque was done in silicon bronze
Thank you Joe & Anna

That came out great Mike. I'm going to do a couple for my brother's, probably on the CNC if it will work. Surprised how deep the relief is on this, any photopolymer I've seen is way less than a millimeter deep.

Hey Mike; I'll be 77 in about 5 years. Maybe you can do one for my grave when the time comes. Beautiful job.

Hi Richard....I would do that for you mate, but I do hope your not going to fall off your perch any time soon as I'd like my skills to get a bet better first , I can see the faults that the camera doesn't show

Beautiful Mike, that will last an eternity. Just think in 100 years folks will take rubbings off that plaque while out doing their genealogy research What was the cost on the pattern?

Foundry Joe and his wife Anna charged me $70 plus postage, they can do 10.5 x 8.5 inch Approximately for $70CD, but if you want to fit more patterns into that size it still cost $70
Below is the latest pattern, and below that is the original photo that the pattern was made from. The pattern is about 10 1/4 x 7 1/4
