Solid Surfaced Formica

This is my first go at carving anything but wood. It is solid surfaced formica as said by the guy at the cabinet shop. It carved unbelieveably clean. Although i may try a dremel buffer on it tommorow. I couldnt for the life of me get a picture that would do it justice. One is a digital picture of the ship "Constitution", the other is just our business name i did as a test piece. They came out well i was very happy with the results. Used centerline text and a V60 edge route. Although it looked like a snow storm when the edge route kicked in. It was great! Downdraft system worked well but still a little messy but well worth it ..

just funnin ya. you know if it could be sliced in half to 1/4" stuff then run patterns and cutout and glue to the back splashes would look great and possibly a revenue stream from the counter top guys??????

Tim, Exzactly good call! I thought the same thing. Custom backsplashes would be a hit for people that like custom work in their homes. The centerline works nice cause its like those bits actually buff as they cut. The edge route is immaculate, i couldnt believe it. Ya i think ill talk to my cabinet man on Monday and share some ideas. ;)

Anyone know if formica will give the lithopane backlit effect if thin enough? This is one i did but it was .50 just as a test. My guess is it would need to be .250 or less. right? Thanks
