Thank you.

Sharon, absolutely no chip out with the cherry and a small draft applied. The draft is probably not needed but played it safe. I would definitely use draft for softer types of woods.

For anyone carving these, I used a square carve region area to mask all the holes I left in the patterns. You can also invert and get a different look from the patterns. Optimization to best.

There are 6 total patterns in the series. I'll be posting the remaining ones next.
