I got my bot about a week and a half ago and finally turned out my first finished project today. It's just a simple topper for a sales counter.

You must have some previous cnc experience. If not, and that is your first effort i'm not sure how you are going to top that. Excellent work.

Thanks Jack. I actually don't have any previous cnc experience but I've been a computer nerd and woodworker since I was a kid (thanks dad)so this kind of brings it all together.

Nice clean design and execution.I'm sure they will be happy with it. Will you finish it or supply unfinished?
Good start! Keep it up.

I am supplying unfinished. The customer will be finishing it himself to match an existing piece that this will sit on top of. I'll try to get some pics after it's finished.

It's a single piece relief.

It's a single piece relief. I cut it fairly slow with sharp tools and it didn't require much sanding.
