Recently finished this guy for a commission, came out so pretty 🖖
Thanks! It's about 25cm long overall :) so slightly less than impressive I guess based on the established metrics

Thanks! Yeah I'm always a bit wary of running these bits too fast, I've broken far too many lately, but I'll max out the rpm and see what happens 🤞
Yknow, I actually would really like to know how to stop this nonsense happening...
0.5mm tapered ballnose in maple, doing a raster finish pass in the grain direction, I keep getting these nests of strandy stuff on descending sloped sections, takes an annoying amount of cleanup to remove
Any ideas how to adjust the parameters to stop it? Tends to happen in oak as well
Thanks! Full transparency the rough carving was done on a CNC machine, but all finished by hand :)
Yeah the modelling part took longer than actually making it! I'm not much of a 3d sculptor so I did a lot of the fine details by hand after the milling
Couple more beauty shots
RIP Sean ❤️
