I love the grain patterns. It’s funny how perspective makes photos look - I thought it was a lazy susan until the last picture when it’s obviously a bowl :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Is there a DeskProto postprocessor available for Onefinity Elite machines?

Yes, there is a drop down menu where you can chose the Onefinity Masso post processor once you installed the deskproto software. There is a free trial version which is watermarked though.

Took a stab at 3/4" 6061 and am very happy with the results. This thing is a beast.

Been busy doing wedding gifts/projects…The Gardner cutting board was a commissioned board for someone in Ky that wanted their dog lasered on it. I used Walnut for the first inlay, and Sepele for the other. The other two are for my nephews wedding. The charcuterie board was inspired by him proposing in Neyland stadium (Univ of Tenn) as he is the Recruiting coordinator for the football team.

The grain in the charcuterie board looks like waves at the beach. Really nice piece of wood.

Thank you. It is the first piece of Birds Eye mahogany I have ever seen. I found it in a pile of walnut shorts at my local lumber yard.

After watching an excellent video 2 weeks ago about making a pumpkin pie dish from “Vectric In the Labs” using the moulding tool path, I was off and running trying things with the tool.

After a little trouble and some guidance from Vectric support (EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SUPPORT!), here’s my latest, cut & finished today.

This is from an old piece of maple I’ve had laying around forever. After I cut it, I discovered the beautiful rays that were inside it. Wish I had more of it!

9" long, 1 1/2" tall, yellow dye inside, gloss cat lacquer finish.

For you newbies out there, practice, practice, practice, that’s how you learn…

I recently had my guest bathroom redone and decided to make a frame (really an overlay) for the existing frameless mirror. The full size of the frame is 59.5" x 41.75", which means I could only fit half on the Journeyman at a time. This, of course, came with a number of set-up challenges, but I think it turned out quite well. The wood is padauk, finished with Natura Onecoat clear. The 3D model came from Etsy (resized). I also hammered a texture into the recessed areas by hand, as I was not happy with the finish in some places and sanding was not really an option.

Here is a gag gift plaque I made for some friends. They have adopted like 12 feral cats. :face_with_bags_under_eyes: The material is 1/4 inch Colorcore HPDE.

Nice, I had no idea Poplar carved so well and looked that nice with a simple oil finish. Thanks for the post.

Sisyphus themed cribbage board for a local board game bar. Cherry on maple with resin lettering. By no means perfect, but I’m pleased enough. Probably my second or third real attempt at inlay - it’s addicting stuff!
