His and hers done.
Same as the last one. Little maple and walnut in this one. Trying to dress up a plain logo.

Loom shuttles for a weaver. Made from an old beech table leg.
The Shapeoko made life a lot easier, no marking out, drilling or sawing. Just set up a couple of stops with easily removable (wedge) clamps and flipped them end to end.
And now, lucky me, I get to do it all over again as I have an order for a dozen more. Another table leg or two have a change of employment looming!

A cutting board for a fan of penguins. Used tzalam, walnut, and cherry with mixing a bit of inlay along with some epoxy all the way through and a small amount of shallow epoxy

Made a lamp for my mom for her 60th birthday, heavily inspired by another lamp I saw on instagram.
Drawn in fusion, cut as two parts from locally sourced oak, glued together and inlayed a B from walnut.

Very cool. Looks like you used dowels to position the sides for gluing.
We’re you able to sand and finish inside that tight radius after gluing or did you use a real light glue touch there?

This is wonderful! Very sleek and simple but the light adds a very artistic level of complexity. Stuff like this is why I love these forums. A+

I’ve made one of these before. The terrain was done on maple. I did the streets (OpenStreetMaps.org) using my Jtech laser. This time I factored in putting bridges. The vector file for the streets is about 10 hours of work with cleaning up all the extra vector lines and text that i didn’t want. Base is walnut.

Yes I modelled in dovel pins for alignment, I was able to sand everywhere, took a while though and some creativity…

That is a nice setup. I have been wanting a track for a long time but the only thing holding me back is the money. I have watched countless reviews and seems that the Makita is likely the best for me. The squaring rig is quite expensive from Woodpeckers but I understand there are some chinese knockoffs that are just as good.
What is the gun like device on top?

I like the silhouette design, it engages the imagination to fill in the details.
This pine nameplate was made as a birthday present.
The font is Uncial Antiqua, which looks nice and has a Tolkienesque feeling to it.
Because Uncial Antiqua has some fine details, and I was using pine, I dropped the depth of cut from 1/16" to 1/32".

Thanks. I was thinking about painting that one dangling strawberry but that may ruin the look.
