Carving on a Curve

This is for my Great Nephew and God son Dylan. I don't think he reads the forum, his birthday is next month.

This is a piece of red pine from Michigan that I had left over from when I finished a room in my basement. It was used as a molding around the doors and windows.

Clear water based finish with a little glazing to bring out the carving a bit.

Nice work. Did you use the 4th axis or was it done in Aspire?

Here's what I did from the design stand point.

I made a 3D model of the molding in another program. Just drew the profile and extruded it to length. I then imported the STL file into Aspire and added the other components which conform to the imported model.

No 4th axis involved.

Thanks,
BillK

Nice one Bill. Thinking outside the box I see. Keep it up.

Tony,

You know, anyone can carve on a flat board.

Hahaha.

The possibilities between the software and the machine set up are almost endless.
