Hi Mike

Here you go , All I need is your address and I will drop it/them in the mail.
I will send the other one also, in Poplar you may be able to use it in a project.

This time I use some nice 7/16" thick x 9 7/16" x 12.5 Walnut , it should make a nice box lid
You get to do the fine sanding and a bit of clean up

Thanks Corey

It's a GREAT machine and it's so quick pictures take a bit of time but signs are duck soup, just about anthing you can think up it will do, computers are great ...now I just need one to cook dinner without my fine touch...

Bob,

Is that you & the Boss with all that 'white' hair??

Looking good!

I would think a High Contrast drawing / picture would 'carve' better...

Hi Joe
Nope that's Mike and his BOSS ( I think that's his BOSS)

"High Contrast drawing"= to much background noise that way it needs to be white, the best is without any background items at all..what the program sees it will carve , like dots,holes,ear rings,pattern on the wall,etc. the neg. image will wipe some of that out but not all.

BJ, The board size should be about right. I want to maintain a 3/4" "frame" around the photo. I would then taper the top ends down to 3/8" from this 3/4" "frame" for sort of a pyramid look. The reason I selected 3/4" was to have plenty of material for the hinges/screws to secure in. Any thoughts on this? I am going to investigate the shipping methods to see what is the best way to safely and inexpensively ship this. I have some very nice wood I can size and ship. Have you tried the machine on any of the very hard woods yet?
