This doesn't even come close to Jay's food carving, but if you use Acad there are various hatch patterns that you can use for interesting effects. Kind of like texturing with hatch patterns.

Hi Guys
Give me a few days and i'll post some things in the gallery. Acad generates the patterns as vector lines. Depending on which pattern you use, some can be vcarved and some have to be profile cut because they're just a pattern of open lines. Of course you have to experiment with different bits and depths. But isn't that what it's all about. My machine isn't running yet so i can't post an actual cutting. BUMMER!
