Date with Ms. Carve Wright

[Carve Daddy]

...well, I had some free time today and I decided to make a date with Ms. Carve Wright.
I have been fondling her sister (CW Designer) for a few days now, and let me be the first to tell you....she is SWEET!!!! and has been a BIG help in getting Ms. Carve Wright and I "hooked up"...

Time: 1:00 PM
Place: The Shed
...so, I walk out, stick my card in her, and she instantly turned on...
I loaded my wood...and my eyes began to roll back into my head. Amazed at how AWESOME this machine is, even for a "newbie" like me!

I guess I should have kept the lid closed on the can 'O stain, the fumes must have gotten me a little silly in the head... ;) ...anyway...


Total time on the date was 2:59.
This was the first time I ever turned her on, and I have to say, "I'm very happy" so far...

Last nite I did a 'lil designin', and with the help of all the GREAT folks here I was able to carve my 1st project EVER without a single problem. Thanks guys...

Now that I have made my first carving, I can see where I need to "improve" on some things, like; depth of cuts, font choice & size ect...
However...the chips were flyin' and the addiction is just starting...:D

Mike, yes very nice! I have never heard of a carving experience described in such a way! Are you sure you were using the CW? LOL

Better turn on some exhaust fans and close all the stain lids!

Carve Daddy,

That is a very nice piece of work, I like all aspects of what you did.
I was concerned about the knot, but I should not have been.

[Carve Daddy]

Thanks for all the kind words guys....
I would have never tried such a complex project for my first, if it were not for all the helpful "tips & tricks" I got from reading everyones posts on here....

Now, I just need to figure out how to get to sleep at night, with all these "possibility's" running through my head....:D

[SteveEJ]

I wish I had half the talent! Nice Job!

You should be very proud of yourself. I also was wondering about the knot but you did a fine job of blending it into the project. The only thing I would have done different and it is not that big of a deal is to put some dashes between the area code (xxx-xxx-xxxx) But it is great and they will love it. Dan
