Most ambitious Litho so far!
I love the 3D models from Vectorart3D, they add a lot to lithophanes. Did this one for my wife's daughter and her grand kids. 5 individual litho carvings, a 3D carving, and text carved on top of the 3D banner, all on an 8 x 10 inch piece of Corian. The curved corners were the result of my stupidity, I forgot to zero my HD after carving the 3D banner. It cut a nice one inch groove into the bottom left corner. Not one to waste the material, I cut the corners with my bandsaw, and touched it up with my sander. Corian cuts and sands very nicely, and easily. The nice thing about doing so many pictures on one piece like this, I cut all the rough passes first, then all the finish passes. That way I didn't have to change the bit but one time. Enjoy! Keith

Re: Most ambitious Litho so far!
Hi Tony! I haven't put it in a light box yet. That's just a lamp behind it to light it up. Gonna do a standard box, and cut a frame out of a flat board with a 1/4 inch rabbit on the inside opening to hold the corian. Just a little different because of the round corners.
