"oak" Eagle

Post by Paul_n »

This weekend I was able to spend a bit of time in the shop,
and cut an eagle, from the VectorArt_3D Machinist. The 3D
tool paths were opened in VC-Pro, centered on the material,
and added the 'texture'. I own an old ShopBot-PR machine,
and it took about 3 hours to complete the project.

The eagle was rough cut with a 1/4" round nose bit, and then
finish cut using a 1/8" round nose. The texture was cut using
a 1/2" round nose bit. The finished size is 9"x19". Still need to
do a bit of hand sanding, then off to stain and finish !!

Thanks, VectorArt & Vectric !!!

That looks cool with the textured background. I've cut a few things from VectorArt 3D and I'm always shocked how good they turn out and that my machine could cut something that cool looking.

Nice job Paul.
Take it easy.

Paul,

What is the finish in the picture?

You say you are going to sand and stain, could you post that when you are finished?

Nice job,

Les

Nice work Paul!

I'm gonna have to give the eagle a go, details look real nice....
I have a project that requires a eagle but I haven't been able to locate a good clean vector.
maybe the 3d vector is the way to go.
