The project
We manufactured this trophy for @diegomirilustra and @giacomo_erre. The piece combines a four-leaf clover silhouette with green details, a red leaf and a gold accent, set on a base engraved with the award category.
The body and base were CNC-milled from MDF. We recessed the surface of the clover using a galvanometer laser to create leaf-shaped spaces for the inset pieces.
For the green details, we used birch wood, which we cut and painted before fitting it into the recesses. Gold mirror acrylic was placed in the centre of the red leaf, adding a reflective finish to the composition.
The base received its own finishing and personalisation work: we sanded the surface, engraved the award categories with a fibre laser and applied an oak-coloured stain. Oak refers to the stain, not the material of the base, which was made from MDF.
We glued black felt to the underside for protection. The fabrication brought together milling, recessing, cutting, painting, sanding, engraving, staining and fitting the different components into a single piece.
Recesses in the body accommodate the green-painted birch pieces.
The engraving on the base identifies the category of each award.
