Had a request for a Yin Yang style plaque for a going away; made out of Walnut and Ash. I'm still a novice and every project is a learning experience no matter how skilled you are. Walnut and ash yin yang was cut with a Amana 1/4 endmill up-cut bit #46102 @12,000 RPM 200 IPM The design was cut with the same bit for large areas and a 90 V-groove bit #45712 @16,000 120 IPM If you have better Speed/Feed rates or bit suggestions, send it... I'm still learning |

How do you do the black features? Do you just paint the whole thing then do a sanding across the top?

Gotcha. I have mostly done 3D carvings of warfare insignias but I always wondered how people got the black features for V carvings. I though about doing a piece, painting it black then taking a thin layer of wood off with the big mortising bit that comes with the bit kit. I'm not sure how well it would work but I think it might be worth exploration.

As long as you have a beveled edge, if you drop the surface clearing tool to remove <.01 on a second pass, you would remove the surface paint while leaving the beveled edges alone. |

That looks great! How dos you marry up your pieces? Did you end mill cut both out then just glue together?

Thanks, that is exactly how I did it. I tried to match the wood grain as best I could.
