And here is a V-carved two tone image. I used regular MDF for the material. Used Halftoner for the processing and edit the code after the fact to mimic V-Carve. I have photo V-Carve and have used it for this but got mixed results. I have a sheet worth of mess ups. Moth of these are memorials.
I cut the boards about 1 inch larger than oi wanted so i could run a cut out pathh and bevel the edges. I sealed the wood with sealcoat shellac, the spray painted black. About 1 can per 24x24.
Here is the file used for the outside frame. And the settings in Halftoner i used. This really takes trial and error to dial in and flatness is a must.

To finish i used spray shellac and used several THIN coats. Too heavy and the lines you spent 4hrs cutting will be too dark. Don’t ask how i know.
I tried a few with the hole option and burned up the Z driver and had to replace the board in my machine.
They look super cool but i wouldn’t recommend dong too many of the hole type. Like i said it burned up my board. But Carbide hooked me up after warranty for a replacement. Love this company!!
The last one i painted white after the final seal to give better contrast. It was a nightmare!
All were done with a 60 deg. V.
Thank again.
