I thought you'd all like to see what one of their patterns looks like carved. This was just a sample I made up in sugar pine with a little light oak stain. 11 x11.

Here's the elk, properly carved in soft maple w/ a oak stain/varnish finish.

What did you do differently the second time? Is it a different setting in the software?

Very Nice!

Andrew Holmes from Vector Art posts regularly on another forum I am a member of... www.letterhead.com ... I would love to order his CD's but am spent out on hobby money right now with the purchase of this machine.

Until then I am working on my own library of routable items....

1. I drew an oval
2. did the same elk but followed with 'cut region'.
That left the carving 'proud' instead of recessed.
Finally, used a good wood, although the first was on high dollar piece of scrap sugar pine, and actually carved quite well.

That looked great on the second run. How long did the process take to cut? Thanks - Matt
