Late Christmas Present ( I guess)

[Rusty]

Just finished this piece. 10 inches X 24 inches. Used ash. Tried some texturing in the leaves & flowers (both different-hard to see in picture, but gave some good affects).
VCarve is great to use. I just have to keep reminding myself that the preview is pretty much what you will cut. The customer is going to paint all the detail.
I found, however, that the cutting times were a lot shorter, in the software, than the real world.

Not being from the world of wood, I sure could use some help with the whole finishing thing (masking, staining, polishing & painting).

Thanks All.

That came out nice Rusty. Slap some stain on there and a little sealer and you'll be all set.

Nice work.

To get more realistic machining times you can change the "scale factor" on the estimated maching time page. When I first started using the software I did a time test and ended up with a scale factor of 1.2. Hope this helps. By the way, Nice work!!
