I am trying to get my first project to come out right. I designed the Fleur Delis to fit on a 7 1/8 x 7 1/8 piece of 3/4 pine. In the design program it looked fine - but when I carved it, it came out quite a bit smaller and the carve quality was not very good. I used a board 3.5" longer than my designed project (wanted to keep it under rollers). In the process of setting up the project to run, one of the options was to scale to length or load new board. I opted to scale to length (which is probably my problem), but I thought that if I wanted to keep the project under the rollers, I had to put an "overlength" board in the machine?
Anyway, please take a look at the finished product and the design and anyone that can tell me what I did wrong will make me very happy
