Looks great! I'm curious about the assembly. In the photo, the upright panel does not appear to extend below the base panel. How is the base secured to the vertical panel?

Bomber & Growler Totes

Just what every craft beer lover needs!
Designed in Aspire and CNC'd from .5" Baltic Birch, laser engraved.
Easy to carry, use for empty storage and keeps them from rolling around in the car.
We also do a Bomber 4-Pack.

In the 3D Component view you can create a zero depth planar shape and assign it a color or material in the component properties menu. Tim Thanks Tim, I knew there m...

Paint then Carve

This sign was carved from 24" x 74" x 1.25" mahogany. Customer wanted black text and logo so I prepped the wood, painted it black then carved, did some hand touch up then sprayed it with Spar varnish.
