Great mix of art and design

That’s kind, I’m glad you think so 
It’s a fairly easy and meaningful project to do as a gift. Much better than throwing the flowers in the bin after the wedding!

Very nice and good job with your video. I am sure the happy couple will be very pleased with their gift.

How are you going to anchor the flowers. When you pour epoxy they will rise to the top and likely float. You could spray some spray adhesive in the bottom and then put the flowers in. Likely some will still float but most will be adhered at the bottom. Be sure to mask off your perimeter if you spray adhesive like 3m #77 or #99. That way you wont get adhesive and/or flowers stuck to the rim of your piece. After the flowers are in place you can peel off painters tape and take any stuck on flowers with the tape.

@gdon_2003 Ha! I should have spoken to you beforehand because I made exactly this mistake and had to chuck them out - recorded that sad moment in the video 
I ended up doing a very shallow pour to anchor all of the flowers in place (but not make them float) and then a second pour 24 hours later to get the full pour depth. I should have thought about the floating the first time but it never even crossed my mind!

I’ll make a thread soon when this project is all the way done, but I want to share today’s success.

Quilted maple letters dyed blue.
All inlays, not glue.

Looking forward to that post, that’s a clean looking sign 
I’ll have a post coming soon too for press fitting cubic zirconia in brass 464. Hard brass and brittle CZ don’t like each other. If things aren’t just right the CZ explodes.
Previously I’d roughly mill the setting and finish it with a hand burr but I was on a mission to set it right off the machine, no hand work. After 9 attempts to figure out tolerance and depth, it worked out just swell.
Doesn’t look incredible but it’s a start for sure
