Object Development

I created this 'N' out of a thick piece of plywood. I used the ban saw that I learned to use in the wood workshop with Steve Perkins.
I used the bansaw to get the shape, but to get the smooth edges and corners I used a file and sandpaper. 
To get the curve I have on the edge of my work I used the sander and gently sanded away a small curve to produce this outcome. I initially had an issue with the making of the letter because I attached two thick pieces of plywood together, to create a piece that could stand up by itself, therefore where I attached them together, i had holes where You could see where the nails were. 
But to overcome this issue I used a mixture of super glue and sawdust to cover the holes evenly.
