The piece at the end I use a sticker from the command logo and painted the rest. I didn't get a chance to picture the finished process but I covered it on epoxy resin. I'm currently making another one that instead of being on wood, it will be encapsulated on epoxy resin.
The wood one, I just used a table saw. I put wood stain on the the slats to give it a different color. The starts were a pain. I cut does by hand using a bandsaw. Later found out I could have bought them in Amazon for a lot cheaper than what it cost me to make them. The plaque at the bottom, I finished the wood then took it to a plaque trophy shop with what I wanted and they printed the logo and names on it. Then I covered the whole thing with poly.

It's way nicer you cut the stars by hand. I was curious how the aluminum and logos were done.
They are so well proportioned it's like pieces of art.
