That’s excellent! Great way to meet people, get a little attention for your work and possibly earn some business and/or referrals. Good luck!

I made some signs for the rock festival I’m attending this weekend. (rocklahoma.com)
For the bigger one 24x36in i cut on the cnc. I used tintable stain for the coloring.
The other two I used the same stain but used the laser.

I live in East Texas but get my TV station from Shreveport LA. They cover the ArkLaTex which covers part of Eastern Oklahoma. Today we had some strange wet stuff fall from the sky, oh yea rain. It is normally quite dry in August but the weather report says a 10-50% chance of rain for the next couple of days and that may include Oklahoma. So take an umbrella and Rock On!!!

I’m almost embarrassed to post this but I’m pretty new and learning on scrap wood. I’m not even sure the pictures will load.

Everyone starts CNC not knowing how to CNC.

Yep, I played a few games with it today with some guys in the office. It works better than I expected it would, and makes for a noticeably more “springy” return. Completely ridiculous, but fun project.

Your carves are very nice. No one was born with the knowledge to operate a CNC. Everyone here on the forum started at zero. So your carves are nice and as long as you keep moving forward that is what is important. Keep calm and keep machining @Julien

Very nice. I have made some beautiful firewood. Took me a long time to be proud enough to give my work to family.
I love this. I Love this. I Love this. It’s like the old school carving that made it easy to identify the businesses of yesteryear. very inspirational. and did I mention that I Love it?

To prevent dye from bleeding into the end grain try applying a layer of shellac in the cut areas.
Welcome to the world of CNC!

Thank you, I did apply one spray on layer of shellac, but I rubbed the black in pretty hard to get it in all of the groves. I’ll get better at this…some day

Made a couple of paddles. The small one is unfinished. The big one is going to be a wedding guest book so it’s oversized but still worked well enough.
Struggling with getting the cut after the flip to line up.
