The coffee cup is a full 3-D HDU element, and the dog pictorial was CNC-milled from layers of HDU board totaling 10 inches. The vertical post has lettering on three sides and is an HDU sleeve that slipped over a structural wood beam. The post base is faux concrete HDU board with faux steel HDU plates.
