Thanks Lawrence. Yes there's tons going on. I was hoping I could play with the grayscales and everything else would just "magically" work itself out, lol. I must be out of magic pixie dust or...

Ok, I've tried and tried to make this picture into a pattern to carve for a good friend. Everything I do comes out looking horrible. Can someone please help? I would really appreciate it.

Thank you

That is a good thought Roger, unfortunately it's not just the text. The tractor looks like crap. I can't get the detail right on it.

I was given this picture and asked if I could carve it. Silly me said yes before I took a good look at the picture. I've tried changing it to grayscale and importing it to the editor but it's just...

Hi Everyone,
I haven't been on the forum in a long time due to personal reasons but we've had a tradegy this past week. My son is a Flight Corporal in Air Cadets here in Ontario Canada and his...

Awesome job, thanks so much for the help. Will show pictures as soon as I get them completely finished.

Hey all,
It's been awhile since I've been on the forum. This is my first carving without the aid of my husband being here to help and it's a rather important one as it's for two local fallen...

Very nice project indeed Michael. I really want to join the POM club now. How long did it take to carve? Could the cuts easily be made with band or scroll saw as my cutting bit is broken and...

Would be absolutely awesome if some of it could make you tube or even webcast over a private server for a fee. I can't make it to Texas but I'd be willing to pay to see the seminars and speakers via...

I tried to import this photo of a friend's tractor into Designer. He'd like it put on a house sign. But when I try to import it, it says it's too big??? What does that mean? Too much detail or that...

Thank you BJB, it did carve quite nicely indeed. I will post a picture when the finishing is done. Again, thanks for your help.

A grade 10 student on my school bus route drew this picture of a bear. I think it's an awesome job and both of us wondered what it would be like carved. He only wanted the head carved so I played...

Looks beautiful, how long does it take to carve?

Just wanted to say thank you for the help.....I tried figuring out how to make my own dingbats and apparently I'm too inpatient right now, imagine that. lol
BJ, your files work great and take about...

Is it possible to take a picture of a logo (line drawing) and turn it into a vector to carve like the centreline text does? If so, how? This would be a faster carve, would it not?

I've attached...

I saw a saying on a sign yesterday that I really liked, "if idiots could fly, this place would be an airport".
Probably not politically correct at all, but my warped sense of humour enjoyed it.

Excellent use of the colours Jerry, the sign looks incredible. Love the bit of snow on the mountain top.

These are great Ike. What are you using to burn around the edge? Wood burning pens or a mini torch of some sort?

Beautiful work. Well done/

First have to say thank you so much to BJ for the bus patterns. I never did get time to make a Christmas gift for the kids' bus driver, but the pattern still came in very handy.
The bus company that...

Thank you, I did have fun with this. I forgot to get a picture of the other side....it is a 2 sided carve with the words "learn learn learn" on it.

I'm especially proud of this Christmas gift I made for my son's teacher because I finally designed something "almost" on my own. I usually borrow ideas from everyone else here because the talent is...

Love it, great job. Thanks for sharing.

Joyce

Thank you Ike. I do appreciate the help.

Unfortunately I'm still in need of help with this pattern. Jerry's sign is beautiful but it's a picture of a jet ski on it, not a snowmobile. Thanks anyway Jerry.

Maybe someone can just tell me...

Those are quite nice Clint. Is that a mirror above the names?
