First Aspire 3 project

[Ernie Balch]

I just got Aspire 3 and wanted to see if I could rout a sign with a woodgrain pattern. I modified the dragon model that came with the software and tried to get a good 3D effect.

The sign took about 3 hrs with a tapered 1/8" ball mil, plus about 15 minutes to rough out with a 1/2" ball nose cutter.

I'm still fussing with the paint but wanted to get comments.:)

Comment: Nice stocking cap.

But seriously: VERY NICE WORK- especially as a first effort! Keep it up because you are making me jealous, and that is a compliment.

Nothing is holding you back now. Excellent first project.

Good looking, Ernie. Every job is a step in the direction of perfection...we just never get there.
