What did you cut on your Shapeoko/ Nomad today?

Big week of firsts for me.

This week, I tuned up my Shapeoko for the first time. Leveled, squared, tuned belts, trammed, surfaced.

All so I could make this gift for my wife.

The box, also a bunch of firsts. First box. First v-carve. First Inset v-carve. First time thinking about the way the wood grain will look on the finished project. First time stacking multiple cuts for rough cut then finish cut. First real “finished” project.

It’s not the Mona Lisa but I’m pretty happy with it
:slight_smile:

Box is about 5-1/2” tall, 6” wide, 1-3/8” tall. Maple.
