Thank-you very much. Just when the sharing of patterns and what ever was drying up you gave a real spark of life.
In your buisness of scanning and sell them, have you thought of gun grips? Such as the the single action sixes.
Thanks again.

Hello,

Interesting suggestion about the gun grips. Thank you.

It is very intriguing to imagine the beautiful original designs that could be made and carved with the machine...or were you thinking more along the line of replicating existing grips?

Our interest is primarily in creating unique and original design patterns for use with the CompuCarve™/CarveWright™ machines.

We don't know anything at all about gun grips (i.e., how they typically fasten to the gun, preferred thickness of the stock, the depth/texture of a design so as not to create discomfort for the user's grip, etc.) - perhaps we'll search for some ideas and details on the subject. Maybe you have a few suggestions/ guidelines as far as preferences from gun owners.

We just interviewed an artist this last Monday to commission some original artwork from her. I'll bet she could come up with some great grip designs as long as she is provided the parameters to work within for each particular gun model.

We'll give it some thought! Thanks again.

There was another post about this too that I could not find when searching that had a diffrent selction of wood types and finishes. You can also create your own very easy as they are just .jpgs. You only need to follow the naming convention that CW uses.
