Hi All,
Any positive feedback to improve the model would be appreciated. |

Dang that looks great! How did you so cleanly stain the model without staining the rest of the lid? Only way I could see doing it is to do the model separate and then attach to the lid.

No it is not stained. What I do is flatten the lid material to say 9mm then while the material is still on the cnc glue the contrast material and clamp in place. Next step is to flatten the material again this time to 18mm, then set the model height to 9mm and run the roughing and final passes as normal.
This image is a failure as the material was not flatted.

If you're a smidge high, do lower Z by 0.1mm, then re-run finish pass?

If you're a smidge high, do lower Z by 0.1mm, then re-run finish pass? This is normally due to the thickness of the glue, I would use 0.05mm if this was the case. If time is not your enemy then lower Z to 0.05mm and work your way down by very small amounts. The Cowboy required almost no clean up... just a few fuzzies to remove, I am currently using Canarywood for a model and this species cuts so clean not even any fuzzies.

Nice procedure. A really different look. I'll have to try that out.

Excellent. I will have to try that technique in the future as I swore of any form of staining years ago because I'm so bad at it. Thanks for sharing that. |

This sounds like a very interesting technique...We may have to give that a try! |
