Here is my latest project on my CarveWright. It's a lithophane of my granddaughter's high school graduation picture. The frame has the school crest at the top (Richland Rebels) with her name and graduation year at the bottom. I created the name and date in Paint.net and imported it into the pattern editor and the crest was downloaded from the internet. The frame is clear pine with a shellac sealer and golden pecan stain. The finish is five coats of wipe on poly sanded lightly with 320 grit between coats. After the last coat dried I rubbed in a liberal amount of Johnson's Paste Wax with 0000 steel wool and buffed with a cotton cloth. It is so slick a fly would slip down and break its neck.The back light is simply two puck lights. I tried rope lights but they were too yellow and not very bright. I am still searching for a better way to back light.
