dltccf, welcome to our addictive world of carving!! Any problems come up, let us help, these guys know all about it.
Great way to start out with something simple! Now take care and do not hurt your neck from all of the back and forth action watching the machine doing it's thing!
Great going! Chew up that wood!!
The first carve is really cool isn't it. You might want to go through the tutorials and complete those projects. That will give you a great head start.
I had been going through them while waiting for the machine to arrive but didn't actually carve them.Quote:

Keep us informed Sir.
I carved the letter opener today that was posted here recently to experiment with two sided carving. It turned out very nice out of an old scrap piece of pine. Went to see a friend who has all kinds of wood and came home with some cedar, cherry, oak, ash, poplar, and a pretty piece of sassafras. My wife who loves horses wants a letter opener with a horse on it so I 'm going to try that in cherry next.Quote:
