lithophane finally done
lithophane finally done
Here is a picture of my first try at a lithophane with PhotoVcarve
(Picture taken with no flash)
This is a graduation Present for my neice.
It is 16" x 13" oval of a scanned picture.
the overall frame is 21" x 18" in size
This is cut into 1/4" corian also. I did many hours of research before attempting this. The first attempt turned out better than I could have hoped for. The pictures just do not do these justice. thanks for all the help and information to get this completed on time.

Dave,
All I can say is WOW, Fantastic job. When does the lithophane classes start? taking enrollment yet?
How deep is your light box. Maybe another image or two from the side and back??
The detail on that is unreal.. Great Job.

Maybe I'll be as good as he is.

Great Job!!!
I too am in awe that a first attempt can come out so excellent. Beautiful layout on the frame.
Now if I can only straighten out after bowing!!

The price makes you think that this is a basic program. The results tell a very different story. I am wanting to get the Vcarve next to incorporate the two together.
Thanks for all the kind words.
Here is the photo that I used to make this.
The light box is 4" deep and I painted the inside with gloss white paint to add to the lighting. I tried many different lights for this but ended up using a flourecent bulb inside.

I can't believe the resolution and clarity of the lithopnae-- can you give out your secret IE
bit type, spacing , depth and such and how long it took to cut-- VERY NICE!!!!!

I too would be interested in your tooling and setup.
