    Default Creating wavy patterns

    This question may have been answered before I just don't know how to word it in a search.

    I know it is easy enough to do this with grayscale images I am trying to speed things up a little.
    Does anyone have a technique of doing this with a cove bit using just the CW software with the centerline text tool and the conforming vector tools.
    I am thinking of creating a font with wavy lines of varying thickness and then using that to "draw" the texture by overlaying the lines and then getting CW to carve.

    Any comments would be appreciated.
    Thank you. Carl

    Not quite the same look but with the advanced software you can use the texture tool.

    I would make a line drawing; make the drawing into a Font image and then carve it with the centerline program. I made my drawing into a Cap "A" -you need to load the font to your computer to see my pattern. BJB
