CNC-carving of "Bacchante with Roses"
CNC-carving of "Bacchante with Roses"
Just a test for my new CNC machine. I got the file from here: Scantheworld and turned it into a relief using ZBrush and Photoshop. The wood I used is cherry and the sice of the carving is roughly 60x50mm.
This is freaking awesome
Very cool. Was this a test piece or do you intend to do CNC carving like this in the future? What finish do you think you'll use? Any surface prep ahead of time like sanding? Details on the CNC?
So many questions!
I want to make tailpieces (the part that connects the strings to the body) with decorative carvings for string instruments like violins. This piece is actually a tailpiece for a Tagelharpa! (I added holes for the strings after taking this photo)
As for the finish, I'll just use oil, without sanding to preserve detail in the carving.
