Bowl bit on the Shapeoko

I picked up a couple of bowl bits, thought I’d try them out with the CNC. I used a 7"x 1" x 1.5" piece of cocobolo. I made two projects in Easel. One for the pocket - using the 1" bowl bit - and one to cut it out (1/8" spiral bit). I had to guess at the corner rounding for the cutout tool path and ended up doing some sanding afterwards to fix it. Used a 1/8" round over bit (I think) to round over the bottom and give it a little lip. Finished with tung oil. Couple of hours total. Worked out pretty good!
