I just did a sign for a little girl's room. The key words were mermaid, and loves purple. I hear that is a phenomenon with little girls. So this even includes purple glitter paint for the lettering and border.

Very nice indeed... I envy the skills you have with painting

Thanks guys for your thoughts. Yes have almost finished the topside Zank inlay... just final sanding. The underside will be a model of a cowboy roping a bull... still in the planning stage, not sure about the dish.... may use a rope border around the lip of the dish... may carve and the decide about...

Did a joint yesterday Thank you Tailmaker.

It's an artistic choice really. A recessed model is designed to mimic the look of hand cut chisel edges to the recess in which the model sits and the dish is a perfect concave shape which the model sits in. My personal preference from a pure machining point of view is to use dish models as you can ...

Hi all,
I am doing a cutting board the top side will be a standard Zank inlay.
The bottom will be a 2.5 D carve from D&M should I use a dish or recess model.... never used a recess model before.

Ron, I believe the bottom row of colors in the color pallet are saved colors that have been used. You can click on one of those to get one of the custom colors that you have used.

Thank you I shall look into it

A question for all you resin inlay guys. From what I have seen, most users are using Epoxy Resin for their resin inlay projects. Anyone using Polyester Resin. I’ve used polyester resin for years laying up fiberglass models and like to shorter cure time as opposed to the longer cure times with epoxy...

I Love it !!! I haven't tried two colors next to each other, I am a little apprehensive about that. You seem to have mastered it with what I have seen !! I think the main reason is, impatience .Anyway, great job I too am getting closer to having my list complete. Dave Yes patience is required... I ...

Another Football logo

When selecting the color from "more colors" and assigning this color to the toolpath..... it would be handy if the color selected was remembered in the displayed pallet for the next toolpath.

Ron
