Daniel in the Lions Den- Carved

[vicartbytes]

Just got done with "Daniel in the Lions Den" finally. Over the holiday I came out every day to send out a cut path to get it done. On the last tool path I had to separate the cut job into 3 separate cuts. Reason is my CNC only has 34MB of RAM and the whole cut file would have been like 70MB. Oh well, you work with what you got! Prepin to paint right now.

Nice Job, what is the size, hard to tell with nothing to gauge by

Thanks! Its 41" tall by 24" wide by 1.625" thick. It took a very long time to carve out. Somewhere around 35hrs.

Vic,

Nice job. How are you going to finish it?

[vicartbytes]

Well after the black primer I will use a cheap horse hair brush to just stroke over the piece with a silver paint. Barely hitting the piece will still allow the primer to poke through and give an aged antique-i look. Kind of how I did the tiger piece below.

That's great detail. Tell us some details about how you broke up the file, tools used, etc.

Sure thing Angie! Here is a few pics that should tell the tale!
The first pic show the vectors. One vec around the whole thing which was used for the roughing path and the first finishing path. The other vecs are for separating the detailed finishing paths for all three of them.
