Very nice! I like the optical ball too, in fact I was working on it last night. If you haven't, google Escher, some of his work lends itself very well to carving.

I'm gonna guess it's poplar and the colors came out just right for the lateral line.

My first attempt at the maple leaf plate was a disaster so now I keep it as a reminder of what NOT to do. My second attempt went very well. I ended up decreasing my finish step over to 20%. I believe 3-D Cut recommends 10-20%. I also slowed the FRO speed down to 75% in the control panel to eliminate...

WOW! Jim that first picture looks exactly like the underside of my table. Forgot to mention, I too added a middle bolt to the center of each end angle. It was a little tough getting my arm in there to tighten up the bolt but I managed. I did check and my rails now sit 1/4" above the plastic bar the ...

Although this is my first post I've had my Shark Pro HD for about 6 months now and loving every minute of it. Had to drive about 4 hrs to the Rockler in Cincinnati to pick everything up but it was worth it. I would like to mention when I first went to use my probe it had issues. An email to Tim Owen...
