Hi Chris,

Those are some great looking plaques etc! I like the texture around Oliver, it really brings it to life! How thick was the Rose material? It appears to have a lot of depth.

Very nice work Chris.

Wes,
The rose started out as a 2 inch thick block. Finished thickness is about 1.75

I have to confess that the texture around the horse is largely as the file was purchased (3dmodelclub.com) with a bit of Aspire modification with the sculpt tools. The only tricky part was blending the edges of the component enough so that it did not look like a stamp plopped onto the wood.

Very nice pieces of wood you have there..
The horse is for free this month.....

The rose and the horse are both stunning.

Nice work.

How was it cutting that teak??
What bits did you use?
thanks..

Actually the teak cut more easily than I thought it would. Roughed it and cut it out with a .25 upcut spiral cutting .2 deep at about 100 ipm. Finish pass was with a .125 rounded (Actually a rotozip bit with the edges knocked off to make it "round". This is a cheap solution to "Where do I find long reach .125 bits). The finish pass was at 8% stepover at up to 200 ipm. There is no finish on it, and the shine is purely from natural oils. The only hand finishing was a quick scrub with a fine stainless wire brush, and going over it with a buffing wheel.

This is where I got mine.
But, if you go to deep of a cut, you will get flex in the bit..
I believe they about 3" long..
He does have ball mills too!

I too find teak machines well, similair to walnut. Some of it does have a high silica content making it hard on tooling.
