You cut it and it was on a Shapeoko so I guess it qualifies. Why not?
Looks really good! How deep did you burn the letters?
One pass at 250mm/s and 85% power. Went about 3/16" to 1/8" I didnāt measure.
What font was used for WASHINGTON STATE ?
I used āGrand Adventure Textā here is a link to the font where I think I got it from.

How deep do you cut for your epoxy inlay?
I did 0.2 inches. I use Exopoxy dye which goes a long way with a few drops. ALSO, with a wine barrel end, the backside of the end needs 3/4 in plywood round backing measuring to close to the full diameter of the wine barrel end. Screws need to go into ALL the barrel end boards otherwise the barrel end will not be stable over time. If the barrel end board is wide enough use two screws to span the width when going from the plywood to the barrel end. Hope that makes sense and helps.
Thanks, Iāve worked a little with the barrel lids, and they do have a tendency to warp over time.
Hi! I wouldnāt have guessed that was your first time! Well done.
Iām new to this. If youāre amiable, do you mind answering a question? You mention you scanned the bottom of the shoe. Was that with just a regular flatbed scanner? What format preserved the exact dimensions?
You are telling us that C3D didnāt lie about the size one can cut on that machine? 
4-1/2 hours! That was rockinā!

Ahā¦I guess Iām not as with it as I suspected.
Honestly my wife is a nerd too, but would rather it be Dr Who. Itās also being sold, so not so much my issue. But his wife is also a nerd and is just as likely as him to have wanted it.

Came out awesome. I see how those threaded inserts really come in handy. Interesting notch in the bottom right, guessing that might be necessary to accomodate the bitsetter when using full 48" width material.

It was just a flate plate that gets glued to the bottom of the shoe. I used a flat bed scanner and saved the file as a .JPG, then imported it to Inkscape and changed it to an .SVG format. When I imported it, it was slightly larger than the original. I resized it using the scale tool to the original dimension of the plate. I then cut a pocket about 1/16" deep to hold it firmly when I etched it.
Hope this helps you.
