Steve,
Great work!!
Steve that works great on so many levels. Keep up the creative work.
A very clever idea. You should place well in the contest.
Very cool Steve! Did you take any photos of the innards? Got to make some of these myself one day. A project like yours in the Pattern Depot would be popular I'd bet.
Thank you all for the encouraging comments! I think it would make a nice project for all to make, but I took the idea from a book and I don't know if I am allowed to do that. I used my CarveWright to do the precise cutouts and V-Carving. My first one was done the hard way - no CNC.
I look forward to seeing all the other entries ! There are a lot of talented people who own a CarveWright and I hope to see their creativity real soon.
Thanks again and happy carving!
Steve
