A while back someone was showing how to carve so there is a contrast of both boards showing. Does anyone remember this or where I can find it?
Thanks Chris

Do you meant the Designer Pro feature of two layer boards?
Was it this carving you were thinking about?

A year or so ago I did a Pierced Heart project that was two toned. It was done by by laminating two different species of wood together and then planing off each side to the desired thickness before carving. It took a couple of attempts to get the right effect. The pattern for just the plain Pierced Heart is in the pattern depot along with a link to an instructional video. The two toned effect is not part of the video so it will take a little imagination to get the desired results.

Hi Chris,
I made a two-tone Project of the Month awhile back using 0.25" stock - one board was red oak and the other was poplar (glued together). You can download the "Try Before You Buy" and look at the PDF and files for some ideas on doing two-toned stuff. Here is a link to the project:
Duo-Tone Refrigerator Magnets - Project of the Month - May 2014
This project features a duo-toned set of refrigerator magnets. The effect is achieved by gluing two sheets of contrasting woods together, then machining the patterns so the upper and lower layers of wood form a contrasting colored design. The project uses the 1/16" Carving Bit and the 1/8" Cutting Bit.

Thanks everyone. It was the two-tone magnets that I remember. Appreciate all the help.
