I told Honest John that I paint by numbers.. and he called BS. so I thought I would spend the next few days walking you all through my process for painting a large piece.
This particular one is a 48" lodge sign that I just finished carving. I have been asked to match their logo colors and design.
attached are the first few pictures of the model is used to sell the customer, the carving just off the CNC, and their LOGO. I expect to start adding paint pictures in a few days.... as soon as I number all the paint cans again..
The carving was done as follows.
1. rough out carving with a .75 mill took about 58 minutes at 250 ipm feed.
2. finish carve was .25 ball mill and took 6.75 hours at 250 ipm feed.
3. A V carve for the Soldotna words took 15 minutes, and the Cabins & words was a pocket carve using a .125 mill. about 28 minutes.
still have some hand clean up to do than I will seal the wood prior to painting.
so stand by... painting starts Friday....
