Remodeling a kitchen for a good friend who loves daffodils. Decided to surprise her and have 2 cabinet doors made with daffodil theme... tried to find someone locally to produce them for me. One CNC business deals in metal fabrication only, Another tried to convince me laser etching was the way to go. Finally decided to buy a machine (from a very nice owner in Atlanta area) and produce them myself. The patterns are 12x13 mirrored images in oval cutouts on half inch birch, stained and varnished. She absolutely loved them!

Great looking, did you remove the center panel and carve that or was the complete door placed in the machine?

The doors are hand made. I just inserted the baltic birch (plus 7") and then cut it to proper height on my table saw.

Very nice work! Planning a similar project soon. You are off to a great start as a new carver! Welcome to the Forum.

I would say you have the hang of the CarveWright machine.

Looking forward to seeing what you carve next.
