What causes this?

While the kids are cleaning the fish I'm working on the pattern. I took and applied the changes to the project and played around with adding depth to various parts of the carve. Reading about it didn't make much sense but putting It into practice is really cool. Changing the depth on the Texas and Cowgirl it enhanced the detail on the cowgirl the elbow is no longer infused with the state.

Thank you for the State Pattern and the cowgirl. They are wonderful.

I just saved the corrected mpc and can't wait to carve it. I'm doing a scan of an 82 year old piece of art from our Church and will be reproducing it soon. About 7 more hours and it will be scanned in.

Time to work on a new design and put some of you advice into practice.

What are you using to scan it for 7 hours

What are you using to scan it for 7 hours

The probe take a long time to scan, especially on best quality (which I always use). The size of the rectangle target you set up will determine the time. I'm currently scanning a target about 10 by 12, and the best setting tells me it will take about 9 hours.

I'm using the scanning probe on best quality. I've experimented with the other quality settings and was not happy with them at all. Best comes put great. The piece I was scanning last night is a 12 inch diameter circle with designs on top.
The Church I'm reproducing it for was established and built in 1794. It is a registered historical building and still an active Church.
The scan came out really great.

Please be sure to post your carve. I haven't used the probe much. Thanks

I will post pictures of it. I will be scanning a few more pieces for the Church before I start carving. They will be supplying the wood. As soon as it is done I'll post pictures.

Thanks I can't wait to see them

Sounds like a great challenge. Hope to see the carvings when you get to it!

I finally ended up using oak for this project which ended up being the 4th attempt. The first two was my fault with the layout. The third one carved beautifully except an anomaly in the wood which showed up when I varnished it. So I broke down and spent the $30.00 on a two foot piece of oak and I'm happy with the results. I will finish it today extra coat of paint on the letters, some touch up work, and then put a few coats of polyurethane on it.
Thanks for all the help.
