Something that can make me and many others smile is food. And in these times of isolation it can be important to do nice things together. That's why I came up with this ravioli/pasta mold that can also be a perfect gift for your neighbors and fellow people. And instead of hoarding pasta, do it together with your family its both good and fun! // Eric

Very nice work.
What kind of wood did you use for the pasta molds?

Thanks Jan!
It's mango wood from a IKEA chopping board. Easy for anyone to find and buy https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/fascinera- ... -60393486/

Here is my last job, a complete set of 26 letter woodcuts in the Florentine style from the late Middle Age / Early Renaissance. I redraw those letters in Adobe Illustrator and saved them in EPS and SVG formats, All of them have been cut and tested in VCarve Pro with a 30 degrees V bit with a base of 0.2mm, can also successfully be cut with a 60 degree v bit.
It is a nice set of capital letters that can be used in many different projects. They may put a smile in the face of the Vectricians that download them.
I am working now on three more sets of woodcut capital letters.

I tried to upload this last night - but I couldn't get the account activated quickly enough to make the deadline. The good folks at Vectric approved the account as soon as they could - but alas, sleep was needed, and now it's the 23rd!

Attached are a couple of photos for consideration.
I have 6 of these plaques on my machine now just waiting to get their detail passes. I will follow up when I have the final products finished
