is CNCing a word? can we make it into one?

Here is a large plywood piece I just wrapped up. more painting than carving, but I am posting it so you can see the marks on the plywood that I make with a V carve bit. They mark the significant points on piece so when I go to paint it, the work is more like fill in the areas, or paint by number. It speeds the painting up immensely.

So these two large pieces were cut out of 1/2 plywood and painted over a two day period.

A little Game of Thrones Fan art for a gathering we are having.

No problem. Next time spray the board one color of your design. Cut out just the pieces of that color. Spray another color. Cut out just the pieces of that color. Repeat until done. Then you have a jigsaw puzzle. I imagine you could find a market for them. And no painting issues.
:grin:
And that's why you have a CNC. Hehehe

You have so many good ideas, I think I will send you this file so you can cut it up. I will provide the paint numbers and color index.

Hahaha Won't do any good to send it to me, I don' t have a CNC, and don't intend to get one. Instead of cutting it up, you could just outline the parts, and make it paint by numbers.

All that work, then you burn them? Why? I am sure there is someone that would be happy to pay actual money for them.

Copyright issues? But still, burning seems a wee bit drastic.
Fantastic paint job, Scott. Well wait, I guess it really is fantastic fantastic!

Scott, when I saw the finished result, the idea that just popped into my head was to A. Quit my job. B. kiss my Wife goodbye, tell her I’ll be back some day. C. Show up outside your door, call you Sensei, and not leave until I have learned to woodwork properly (ie. Masterfully ), Oh yeah you would also get to call me grasshopper. My brain has always sorta worked off kilter like that, explains a lot. Work looks like it’s up to your usual standards!
