Hello,
Here is my latest project... a Sailboat "Weather Predictor"!
The overall dimensions are about 12" Wide x 21.5" Tall x 4" Deep.
The sails are two-sided carves (from 3/4" thick stock) and end up being only about 3/16" thick with nicely contoured convex/concave surfaces.
The hull is about 2" thick, carved in three sliced pattern sections (top, middle, bottom) to fit together perfectly.:)

Did you design the sailboat yourself or is it a purchased pattern? It's beautiful work.

Great project Michael! I agree with SWhitney. Would love to see it in my Project of the Month subscription. I'll need to carve 3 right away. One for home, one for my boat and one for my boss.

Thank you everyone for the kind words!
Answers to Questions:
Yes, this is the next Monthly Subscription Project.
Note: to non-subscribers who would like to have this one...sign up now so you'll automatically receive it when it is released (very soon)
Yes, I designed all the patterns myself using our ArtCAM software. I found a photo of a sailboat (see below) that I used as a "rough guide" to the proportions. I created the outline vectors in Corel, exported/imported into AC, then created the relief models and the slicing in ArtCAM.

Why not ask for a 'Test' model for being the Admin
Another great project Michael, I have the opposite problem here, I can afford the POM Subs. But don't know if I would ever find time to Carve any of them.
