hi lis ,
it looks real nice ,

i do allot of inlays with colored epoxy ,
and used to have the bleeding problem .

now i ‘size’(?) the wood first with the spray fininsh first ,
then the color then when i sand ,
the wood is still clean .

its pretty cool your working with CNC’s, we are tying to get one in our shop.

I like it..I think the bleeding gives it almost a worn look..like patina on metal! You are the queen of the CNC!

Real nice piece.

It is indeed a very nice piece.

Fantastic design… a real artwork. The curves combination is balanced by the way the Pegasus swayed positon!

I want to learn CNC carving… I am thinking how you had prepared the wood during the staining. My experience, stain dries up in a different depths depending on the softness or hardness of the wood grain.
However, I can see in your work a different outcome… you are the number one on this kind of work..

Thanks for sharing.

A work of art for sure.

Very nice, The way you talk about your HerSaf cutters makes me want to order some for my CNC.

This is really pretty. I am glad you show some pictures of how it’s made. I have heard of CNC’s but I haven’t really seen any in action. Please keep documenting as you make new stuff so we can see :).

It is really a cool design, too. No wonder it found a home!

Thanks, all!

David – I tried that sizing method once so far, with my watercolours, and it worked out really well! Have not yet had a chance to try it out again, but I will.

Also I think part of my problem was the particular paint I used on top. Usually I use a shiny rattlecan which does a good job of preventing bleed-thru. This time for whatever reason I grabbed a can of “marking paint” – very matte and a lot of it came off when I stained it.

Talyn – totally! You should! They’re amazing. I honestly cannot say enough good things about HerSaf. And aside from having the best angled cutters I’ve ever used, their customer service is absolutely top-notch. If you do order from them, let them know a Geek sent you. ;)

Lis, great little piece this. Isn’t it funny how you can agonise for hours about something you believe is not quite right and then others just don’t notice or see it as adding to the work?

Anytime I make something the flaws seem to mock me everytime I look at it. I can relate!! But, I can’t tell where your flaws are so it’s all good!
