Has anyone thought about making one of these on the rotary? I bet they would be popular for gifts.

I have had this happen to me also. I am not sure I can help but what solved it for me was to change my tool path. My project had extra tool paths i didn't see overlaying. I think in my case it just...
This year for valentines day I thought i would carve my wife a celtic love spoon. I searched around and couldn't find any. I married a sassy scotts/irish gal who i am sure she will appreciate it. I...
I have been using the carvewright 3/8" straight bit and it's been doing ok, but i want a better bit that stays sharper longer. I use the bit to hallowing out walnut and cherry alot. Is there a better...
I agree it's butternut. We carve some of this for game calls. Butternut is another name for White Walnut. It's actually walnut species. It carves well.
Speaking about bringing out detail Floyd, I have been carving alot without a sled. I finally made a sled and now my projects are actually carving nicer and with better detail. The only thing i can...
I haven't used sleds much but now have some pretty expensive wormy chestnut I don't want to waste. My project is 21" long and 9-3/4" wide and 3/4" thick. My question is in designer do i have to...
Thanks Floyd, I have to work on the pattern some. I layered a few patterns together to make it and the carve was real deep like 1/4" deep. It took alot of time to carve. In order to get the front...
Yes that is real nice Butch, are those real sheds?

This project was alil more challenging than I expected but a few more little modifications this will be a bow rack, or maybe a coat rack. The side is open so you can hide your arrows inside...
does anyone have any preferred vendor for the foam ?
I'm not sure, I just ran onto it on the web. I didn't know the stuff existed for signs.
I came across this stuff called sign foam. Has anyone tried to carve this stuff?
I have to say I've been carving a few months now, and knowing what i know in just my limited experience. I wouldn't buy a machine unless i had dust collection. I have Floyd's gizmo :) and I'd say...
Thank you Floyd for all of your help with troubleshooting the design. It was a good learning experience.
Yes, that is a great job, a very unique striker. I can't wait to carve it soon.
This is our first go at a sign and turned out really well using centerline text. I have to say the control with the v bits using centerline was very good.

We have been carving cherry the past week. I ran across some really wide nice old growth cherry. I was hoping to do the wood some justice. I was carving the wide cherry when the...

This is our latest carve project. The season is in ! The carve went well, however I didn't do a great job on the finish. The carved area stained alot darker than i expected. The machine done...
Wow ! Now my wife will want one. Well done.
Yes thats the hard part for me. On the lathe i can turn a deer call in about 15 min and a pepper mill in 25 min. I wonder if you can turn the shape and then carve the pattern
It is nice to work the lathe and the carver at the same time. It's really neat to see how each can compliment a project and have it come together. I'm glad to see this Steve, I don't think i could...
Just holler :)
Yes! that is a great job and alot of good problem solving on how to hold the work piece.
