Here are my first offical finished projects using the CW. Just basic initials carved for a box lid only complication was carving in the rough barn wood, I jointed the back flat taking care to keep the overall thickness uniform then raster carved (dont have centerline yet) the initals into a plain relief. Like I said basic for the machine but I am happy with the end results which will be storage boxes for some hand tool that I also made. All the wood used here was reclaimed from an old farm building near my home in Kentucky.

Thanks for looking.

Well that is a fine job on those boxes-- I like the overall effect of the multi-tone. On a side note, I'd love to see pics of the tools you made to put in the boxes. My next project is an infill plane and I always love seeing others' work

Nice job (especially for a first) and thanks for sharing

Hello Daniel,

Those turned out great! Very nice idea. I would love to see what goes inside the boxes, too!
