Sometimes it's better to leave the fine details off of the 3D model and vcarve them separately. I'm sure this is common knowledge for some but when I started modeling I didn't realize how useful the inconspicuous little (Project toolpath onto 3D model) would be.
If I had modeled this flag with the stars and text, then carved it with even a small tapered ballnose, it wouldn't have turned out very well.

Thanks guys, it's just a leftover end of a 7" wide (Cherry) board I had laying around. Good guess David. 👍
