CNC Shark Forum

So I decided to turn the Winter Tree into a box top. Here I made a box out of spalted maple fiirewood. Hand cut dovetails. The hinges are carved from walnut.

Thanks! Glad you found this useful.

Do a search on this forum for “Shark Tank” you will find multiple examples of set ups for your Shark.

I like the way you used the bark inclusion or knot in the over all design. The carving is nice and because you recognize the buildings it means more to you.

Created with Aspire, these are wall hangings. Thanks for looking. 20190510_203027817_iOS (2).jpg 20190511_194146374_iOS (...

Looks like a 1/4" end mill fo...

Thanks! I made 3 more of these, two more for saws, and one for squares..Love them.

I am teetering on upgrading from the V-Carve Desktop that came with the Shark HD4 to either V-Carve Pro or Aspire.
Your work is so well done, why not shoot for the moon!

I agree. Have been using it for a while with no regrets. They keep improving it also.
