Early in 2018, my buddy Dino told me about a CNC router he had just purchased.  It didn't take long for me to realize it would be the next step for my artwork.  I built a workshop built in my new casa, and shortly after bought a Shapeoko XXL from Carbide3D. 

Right away I found the CAD/CAM software that came with the CNC router to be too simple for the kind of designs I had in mind.  So I downloaded a more advanced program called AutoDesk Fusion 360 and proceeded to watch about 2 hours of YouTube tutorial videos a night for several months. 

​It's been a long learning process, from learning to convert my sketches into 3D models to configuring "tool paths", to installing a dust boot that hooks to a shop vac for sawdust removal, to purchasing an array of carbide "end mills" (router bits) of various sizes and shapes.

​I'm still experimenting with sanding, staining, varnishing techniques. Stay tuned for more carvings!

And yes, eventually they will be available for purchase.    :-)
