First carve with the Woodworker

Hello Chris,

This is very impressive, and detailed! I like it. Can’t wait to see what it will look like after you fill in the pockets, and the water line. This should really make it “Pop”.

I received my woodworker last week, and thus far I have made three sample basic relief pieces just to test the performance for functionality of the unit. Nothing grand. I am am a noobmeister to the cnc router arts, yet I am totally fascinated by its potential. The majority if not all of the work I intend on doing will be carves for wall plaques, 3D bas relief on Pine, Red Oak, or Teak. There will likely be a lot of mistakes along the way, but I will accept them as the building blocks to making a better, stronger version of (me),

Like @ConvenientWoodwork, I am also curious of what bits and feeds/speeds you worked with to create this this piece.

Here’s a sample of my first ever recessed Bald Eagle Head, I find the quality a bit “Scruffy” though.

I used a .250 Flat End Mill for the Roughing, and a .125 Ball Nose for the Finish. I didn’t want to take hours running this carve so I reduced it down to 4” x 4”, and pulled the whole thing off within ~75 minutes. So now I’m off to more refined work, and I would like better details than this eagle head.

I take this opportunity to tap the knowledgeable minds of the OneFinity Forum Members that are most inclined; for their tips on getting the best results and details and using the correct bits for my applications.

BTW, I’d like to get awesome details, but not run 24 hr cuts. :slight_smile:
