I thought you'd all like to see what one of their patterns looks like carved. This was just a sample I made up in sugar pine with a little light oak stain. 11 x11.

That second one looks fantastic
What did you do differently the second time? Is it a different setting in the software?

Finally, used a good wood, although the first was on high dollar piece of scrap sugar pine, and actually carved quite well.
