spent about 20 -30 hours on the template, then made templates for the plugs, so I could use a flush trim bit.

I used African Mahogany for the backgroud, yellowheart fo the inlay, and purpleheart for the border. I was trying to match the colors of the actual badge as close as possible I must have 6-8 hours in the inlay part, not couting the time waiting for the glue to dry
