I have made a Mayan calendar ptn. Thing is that there's so much intricate details that to get a good carving, the board has to be 28" X 28". So I'm planning to make it 4 sections of 14" X 14", soon...

I made the depth at .150". I'm still fine tuning this pattern. I will have to test it by carving a small section first. That's a big project, I just can't see this thing being done on a 6" dia piece of wood... I have a big empty wall at home and that would be just the thing.

Yeah, I know, I just kept the filename it had when I found it. Lots of misinformation floating around this subject on the web.
I have found another pic that will be easier to work with here, if anyone else want's to have a go at it... develop your photo touchup skills

So here is the link to this huge pattern (2.75MB) of the aztec calendar.
The picture is only part of the pattern so that you can see the details.
Who will be the first to carve this? Post pics please.

I too thought it was an "Aztec calender". I have a picture of an Aztec calendar that is or is similar to that. Maybe Mayan and Aztec is the same thing, im not sure, excuse my ignorance. Anyways wanted to comment on this cause its "awesome" and the intrincacy is amazing. Keep up the good work.

Hi Pratyeka
Another great project you have presented for us.
This is one that will be put well up on the list.
I picked up the pattern and was looking at making it 21” X 21” with a carrier board
Half on 11.250 X 22.00 and the other half on the same size board
Thanks for your efforts shared
The Aztec wheel is another project have been researching and would like to do some day
Cheers

Thanks to all for the kind words. I think it would look great on a table top, under glass. It's one of those piece that the bigger it is, the greater the impact...
