Love Spoon from 2018 Vectric UGM in Chicago

Post by Mark's Wood Chips »

I had a great time at the 2018 Vectric UGM in Chicago! Got to meet many forum friends and several of the Vectric staff. One of Beki's presentations was a 3D "Love Spoon" which caught my attention because we celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary in 2017 so I cut the project when we returned home. I've attached a couple of photos of the front and back and also a photo of the work in progress. I included the latter because I added a pocket tool path which hogged out most of the material within the weave because I was concerned that the scrap piece was large enough to do damage once the finish cut broke through. Made from teak and finished with Danish Oil. My bride likes the result!
