Every house, cottage or camp in the state of Maine needs a sign like this.\u00a0 \u00a0When we first saw this one we knew many of our customers would love to see it.<\/p>\n

This layout was sent to us by Randy Gray<\/strong> and he promised to send us in a finished picture once it was done... \ud83d\ude09\u00a0 If the raw carving is any indication of what it will look like in the end we\u00a0should be very impressed!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"My project was designed in Vcarve desktop with design and make models. The roughing profile was done with a 1\/4\" <\/em>flatnose endmill, and the finishing profile was done with a 1\/8\" <\/em>roundnose endmill with <\/em>a 8% stepover. <\/em><\/p>\n

Then the files were sent to my UCCNC control program where my Stepcraft<\/a> S600 v2 took it from there. <\/em><\/p>\n

The wood used for this project is 3\/4\" New Zealand pine. It cuts amazing and is a little bit harder than regular pine and is knotless. <\/em><\/p>\n

I think I will stain this project a light oak and then clear seal. Then I will have my wife paint the loons and maybe the cattails.\"<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Wow... Randy used a pile of D&M content to make this layout:<\/p>\n
