What type of pattern would you all like to see?

As my wife and I joke, something to 'ponder over'. Will let you know. Thanks for the offer of time and talent.

I do have a couple older pieces of equipment I would like patterns of to place on signs for the property. One would be an old cat 12 grader, the other is a IH TD340 crawler with 4 n 1 loader. just something that came to mind. I know it most likely would not be in high demand,but thought I would toss it into the mix.

Guys, thanks for the feedback.

Mugsowner, cool inputs. Definitely in the mix.

I couldn't sleep again last night so kept myself busy by modeling a close approximation of an old style grader. Not true to life but what I could do in a couple of hours.

Here is the grey scale height map image of the model.

For any new members use import image into the Designer software for the pattern.

Very sharp looking Oscar. I will have to test carve as soon as I get a little time. Great work again. Thank you

No worries. It was a fun model to make.

I'll leave the post open if anyone wants to add to the suggestion box.

Have come up with one. Have a granddaughter who is into tennis. My thought is something using two rackets crossed with the handles pointing down and a ball between them just below where they cross. A wild thought was for them to have enough depth that is could turn it into a two sided carve but the strings would probably be extremely frail.
Appreciate anything you can come up with.

The pattern should be pretty easy to make but I don't think it will be a good candidate for a two sided carve. The strings will be too thin.

Fun little pattern and I now have a tennis racket pattern for my library. Here are a few variations. Hopefully one works for you.

I do not believe it will make a good two sided carve though.
