My sister in law enjoys doing charcuterie boards. If you remember the family shaming incident she asked me if I could build her one. I found a nice cherry board I can maker her two out of. One large ‘formal’ one and then a ‘fun’ one. The fun one she just said ‘Have fun” They do weekly wine and cheese parties with a group of friend who I know so…Fun it shall be:

 

Due to a crack I had to fill it in with epoxy. The I machined out the wine glasses, cheese and saying. I poured the yellow part of cheese and clear in wine glasses. This will help when I machine and do the red part of the wine. The next day I machined the wine and part two of the cheese and poured those two and the letters. Then following day the wine “glasses.” Surfaced and finished with Rubio with Mahogany coloring to finish off. 
also did an Ash end grain cutting board finished with Odies

 

Most excellent Kevin! Love your creativity with your resin pours. I think you've redeemed yourself from "the day of shame."

lol Thank you Dave. It is fun figuring it out.

I believe you may be having too much fun now KevTN.  Excellent work and I'll bet the client was delighted.

Thank you. It was fun that is for sure. I just made the noobie bone head mistake on the second one with a 3/4 bowl bit where I zeroed off the wrong thing and plugged 0.2 too deep. I think I recovered but I’ll have to talk to them. Oh well.

I just made the noobie bone head mistake ...

I found it was almost always a distraction that made me miss a step such as setting Z for the next piece in a series or putting the right bit in as I'd set up in Aspire for a toolpath.  While teaching I wanted the students to watch the steps I took to draw up, create toolpaths, etc..  But if they got too chatty with questions or life stories or I was interrupted by another student with questions while setting up a cut then I had to stop and checklist what I'd done before preceding or a mistake would pop up.  

Now that I'm retired and live alone I'll blame mistakes on distractions of my own making.  Best chance of success is an uninterrupted flow from PC to CNC to hitting RUN.

Those are super Kevin!

Thank you Cal!

I hear ya…mine was it was late and I was hurrying and didn’t pay attention to the details.

Cool project!!  Keep playing Kev and you'll develop your own "style" and what you like to do ........ and are better than good at.  That epoxy thing scares me, though.  I have a couple gallons of deep pour here and keep making excuses why it's not being used.

Thank you John. I haven’t done any deep pours yet but will one day. The deepest pour on this was 0.13 and everything thing else at 0.11. You may fine out you like it.
