CNC Shark Forum

Thanks so much for doing this, glad you got permission. I haven’t been on here in a while since the last time I looked it seemed abandoned to me. There is a wealth of information in the posts here, glad its being maintained properly now.

Beautiful work!!! I've been thinking of TRYING the same thing and like you I do not have a rotary attachment. I'll just keep winding my butt and scratching my watch until I figure it out. Seeing yours has propelled me into looking at it more serious. Thanks and again BEAUTIFUL JOB.... Thanks! I wro...

Excellent work!

Thanks!

Ah, but it is only partially V-carved. All the segments are 3-D components created in Aspire. The V-carve is only between the segments with a 60°Vbit.

My daughter showed me some animal drawings in a geometric style. She had an owl’s head. I completed the body and made a carving out of it in Aspire.

This is carved in an apple tree log section.

Hi. I’ve been away for a while.

Here’s something I recently completed. A footstool with feet. Actually claws, with talons.

Created the 3D model, then figured how to cut it without a rotary since I don’t have one.

Seems to be working well now. Like the new colors.

This was the forum that got me hooked on CNC carving, so I keep posting here and hope some of you will also. I bought this chunk of Cherry burl at a sawmill this fall, not knowing really what to do with it, but I’ve spent $10 on other things in that category so what the heck. Finally decided to make...
