Took some time out from programming to make wood chips again, and came up with this...

Cutting time: 15 minutes

Pattern available in CarvePic's forum.

How deep did you carve the pic that it chippout out? Also what type of wood did you use.

I was using more of the 'finished birch plywood' I have been picking up pretty cheap around here. The surface is really nice looking. It does not look like plywood inside, though. It's closer to a particle board to my eyes. Cuts very well, even stains pretty decent.

When I cut it I had it set at .1 deep. The fine details between the lines chipped out. If I had it set down to, say, .008 it would have been okay I think. I have been doing these vectors cuts down in that range and they look good. Just spaced it this time, was all....

I could also have gone with a bigger carving too. That one was 8" tall by 6" wide, I think. Live and learn....
