100 years ago the greatest collie dog writer of all time lived and worked on Pompton Lake in Wayne New Jersey. Cypress just off the CNC. No sanding or finish. I will brush it with nylon and use some Zinzer amber. My design start to finish.

Lots of detail there, the Cypress machined well it seems.

That is a very nice piece. You have excellent artistic skills. My brother in law was a collie breeder, trainer and show judge.

Cypress is stringy. After I hogged it I ran a brand new 1mm TBN @ 20% stepover.

I love it! He was and is my favorite author. When I was a kid (85 now) I had a lot of his collie books and reread them countless times.

I have owned collies since I was 18. 73 now. There’s a Facebook page called Celebrating Sunnybank and Albert Payson Terhune where geeks like me belong. I have many of his books and even designed a coloring book for the Collie Health Foundation. Great stuff. Nice to know you!

Congrat, great work.
I really like it and the 3D is very good… What was the SW used to create it, that was not from CC Pro?
Well done!
Thank you. I use a variety of software and it is a process. I first make a line drawing on my tablet monitor or trace the image. This removes distractions. Then I run it through some ai for depth and finish…polish and smooth it in Vectric Aspire. I also use Alibre Relief Maker Pro… And I honestly don’t remember if I used that on this one. I owned Aspire before I owned a Shapeoko so i never learned Carbide Create. But I do love my machine.

Whoa! Had to click on this being a name I, surprisingly, remembered from 66 years ago. Read more than one of his dog stories
