This is my 1st project on my Onefinity. I first want to create a couple more projects like these before installing the waste board. I couldn’t find anyone else having this kind of setup, so here it is.  
The reason behind this is, we have a couple of logs outside that we use as small upright tables. But all of them are uneven, and just not flat, so your beer may tilt and fall off. So I figured the Onefinity would be the perfect machine to flatten these logs, maybe create a picture as well while we’re at it. Make a little inlay for a glass top, and then it would be a perfect leveled flat table that looks awesome!

(can only load 1 picture according to the forum page, sorry)  
So I just made a wedge for the log, and use 2 straps top and bottom to pull it into the wedge.  
I took a photo from the top, digitized the outline, and surfaced the shape of the log. I have a video but I cannot upload videos here.

Then after it was flat/surfaced, I just took a vector of a frog, made it 3d, and started with roughing, and finished with a finishing toolpath.

Since this was my first project, I will next time use different bits, and even finer passes to have smoother finishes.

I am very happy with my Onefinity.  
PS: I did some hacking on the touchscreen to rotate the display and the touch orientation so I can have my cables run on the left side of the screen.
