    Default Sailboat Project

    Hello,

    Here is my latest project... a Sailboat "Weather Predictor"!

    The overall dimensions are about 12" Wide x 21.5" Tall x 4" Deep.

    The sails are two-sided carves (from 3/4" thick stock) and end up being only about 3/16" thick with nicely contoured convex/concave surfaces.

    The hull is about 2" thick, carved in three sliced pattern sections (top, middle, bottom) to fit together perfectly.

    Happy Carving!

    Did you design the sailboat yourself or is it a purchased pattern? It's beautiful work.

    Default Wow!

    Great project Michael! I agree with SWhitney. Would love to see it in my Project of the Month subscription. I'll need to carve 3 right away. One for home, one for my boat and one for my boss.

    Thank you everyone for the kind words!

    Answers to Questions:

    Yes, this is the next Monthly Subscription Project.
    Note: to non-subscribers who would like to have this one...sign up now so you'll automatically receive it when it is released (very soon)

    Yes, I designed all the patterns myself using our ArtCAM software. I found a photo of a sailboat (see below) that I used as a "rough guide" to the proportions. I created the outline vectors in Corel, exported/imported into AC, then created the relief models and the slicing in ArtCAM.
