Rose

I want it! Mind giving it to me for free :D?

Nice Lis! Roses are my favorite to carve when I’m tooling leather ;-)

Beautiful Lis!

You certainly do nice work. It should go quickly.

great carving on a very nice looking piece of wood. I’ve never worked with Ipe but would like to get my hands on some.

-- J.C.Sellers

Great piece, Lis!! You could sand it real flat and glue 2 pieces together for deeper carvings, too.

Jim, that is a fantastic idea and I may try it out this weekend. :)

I am always envious of people that can do such great work.

Wow, that is a beautiful relief carving. You are very talented to come up with such a great design and then to carve it so well.

Lis, that’s another beautiful carving. You have quite a lot of talent. Nice work.

Talent and Skill are just two more tools in the box. Great Work!

Most of us are just woodworkers. You bring much more than that to each project. Gives it life.

Mind me asking what software you do your modeling in? And what CAM software you cook up your G-code in?

I do a fair amount of CNC Programing at work, but it’s all 2D or 2-1/2 D stuff. Pretty boring actually. I’d love to do some true 3D contour cutting some day.

-- Matt, Pine is fine, but Oak's no joke!

I use Vectric software. It’s pretty great. I also sometimes use MecSoft visualmill (I think that’s what I used here… don’t remember- on any given day I have my entire fleet open generally).

Both are great at generating GCode and won’t break the bank (like Mastercam!! Geeez.)

I use 3ds Max for most of my modelling but you can also do amazing things in Vectric Aspire, or in ArtCam (which I sometimes use for modelling but do not like the Gcode generator in it AT ALL) which uses a 2d greyscale image to generate the contours.

However if you want to play around, ArtCam (at least used to have) has a free app that lets you do basic things, and Vectric has some free samples in their trial you can cut.
