Big 3D Carving 60cm x 80cm The Last Supper Timelapse

Hello everyone!

This is the largest project I’ve created to date, pushing my CNC machine almost to its limits. It was a challenging piece that required many hours of machining, sanding, and finishing, but I’m very happy with the final result.

Hope you like it.

You had posted about the defect at the top right side. I recommended you just leave it alone. At the time of seeing the small piece you were referencing I thought it was going to be the Last Supper. Very nice carving. Last year at Christmas my Woodworking Club President is a pastor. I had some purple heart and made a large frame. I found the Last Supper printed on material at Hobby Lobby. So I put the material on a backing and made the frame and gave it to him at our Christmas Party. The thing was about 48" long by 30". I put a french cleat on the back to hang it because the purple heart was so heavy. The picture is before I put finish on the frame.

On the back I used my SO3 to engrave.

So in your picture I recognized the beamed ceiling.

Thank you again for your recommendation. You were absolutely right to leave it alone. Looking back, there’s a very good chance I would have ruined it if I had tried to repair it! :laughing:

And your Last Supper turned out spectacular. The purple heart frame looks beautiful, and I can imagine how impressive it must be at that size. No wonder you needed a French cleat to hang it! Thank you for sharing the photos with me.

Impressive!
Out of curiosity, how long did it take to carve?

4 hours flattening the material, 40 minutes machining the frame, 5 hours for the roughing pass, and 10 hours for the finishing pass.
