Well the sale of guitars has fallen off, so what to do to keep busy. This project is a “Night Light”
designed so that it can be left on for many hours at a time. Back in January I bought a CarveWright
carving machine, thought I could make guitar parts with it. That didn’t work out but it’s great for
making these Night Lights. The wood is solid cherry, the back-lit panel is 1/4” corian. The light
source is a 9 watt CFL bulb. Lots of fun making these becouse almost anything can be carved
into the back-lit panel. Approx. 8” tall, 7” wide and 5” deep.

Well, I say it is a great use of a tool that did not meet your expetations. If all else fails, restructure your planning…LOL
I hope you are able to sell these. Those carverights ain’t cheap! BTW: Great choice of picture. Wanna sell one? (To me)
God Bless,

Thanks all, for the kind comments. GaryK ; it takes about 15 min. to carve the side panel, the front was about 37 min. . romansfivefive ; this is my second machine and is running well, the first was a piece of s—t. Anyone interested in a one of a kind light contact me off of the forum. Thanks again.

Bob,
This is a beautiful piece. The CarveWright adds some nice details to the project. I hope these sell well for you.
Thanks for the post.
