Super Thanks Tim,

Getting back to the candy dish. I think I would like to give this a go tomorrow.

Wading through this thread, I'm not sure what files to use. Back around #15 there is a tree bottom.

Can someone either repost or direct me to the files that are ready to carve, please?

Use the one in post #10. It's the one that Ray re-did and will most likely give you the best results. Enjoy

Hi Tim,
I used your MPW file and did this MPC with a deeper Tree Front.
I have not carved it but it looks OK in design.

Thanks Ray
That definitely looks a lot better. I hope to get to carve it soon.

Can someone please guide me through adapting the most recently posted pattern?

I use 8" wide by 1", generally about 0.975" thick red oak, locally harvested. I don't have a planer so I carve the rough sawn lumber. After the carve I use my plunge router on skis to plane off what was not carved. It's the best I can do for now.

I would appreciate help on this one pattern and I should be able to grasp the concept to apply to future projects.

Thank you in advance.

and put a carve region over the entire board at a depth of .05 and not have to use the router.

Hello nikki1492

I spent a little time this morning and reworked the tree top pattern with cleaner edges
Note; the MPC is for your board dominations you specified in your post do not carve this one on a .750 thick board with out changing the lay out.
Enjoy and have fun! Ray
PS I would carve this in optimal with Oak and how deep it is, the slower feed rat will be easier on the machine
