Re: trying PhotoVCarve
WOW that is great work. Could you share the settings and tool you used with us?
I have been trying to work with Photovcarve for some time and have never gotten anywhere near what you have done.

Hi Jerry. I used maple. I think the lighter colored wood shows more contrast in the carving.

Re: trying PhotoVCarve
Looks very good, what was your process from start to finish if you don't mind explaining. it seems from all the posts that I have read that finishing is one of the most important aspects if you want good results.
Re: trying PhotoVCarve
martin54, yes it seems finishing is a big part of it, After carving, I sealed the whole surface with shellac. After waiting for that to dry I apply a coat of paint by brush then let that dry. Then I sand with 180 grit paper till I get the image to look the best I can. Then I apply several coats of shellac to seal it.
