Maybe I'm not understanding what you mean. All of the 3 dimensional parts, like the scorpion tail, are cut out with a jigsaw, or sometimes my scroll saw. That just gives me the outside shape and then I use carving chisels to rough out the 3D shape. Then it is sanded till it is smooth and then is painted. What is not hand made about that? Sure I use some power tools to do some of it, like the bevels on the frames and a router on the low relief areas, but I don't use a CNC machine or something like that to do any of the work. All the routing I do is freehand.

As for wood, I've used Pine, Basswood, Oak, Walnut, but Poplar is my favorite. That's because it is cheap, but has really closed grain and takes carving detail well. I do use MDF on some of the logos which makes them pretty heavy, but I only use it because it carves well, and unlike wood, it doesn't warp, shrink, expand, or split. I could just as easily make any of the logos out of solid wood, but I want them to last forever.
