First Consignment
This is the first thing I made for someone else. I made it for a friend that is a cabinet builder.

Re: First Consignment
Awesome and thanks for sharing. Did you clear coat it before cutting to make painting/staining the blue easier?

Thanks, it was a learning experience being my first piece of red oak. That stuff is hard on bits.jeb2cav wrote:Awesome and thanks for sharing. Did you clear coat it before cutting to make painting/staining the blue easier?
I didn't do anything to before I started carving. I carved the raw wood and then sanded it using a scotch brite pad to get in between the letters. He did the painting and staining.

Re: First Consignment
I used to program CNC machines and had good results, so I know I could operate one of these machines easily. I don't have a CNC Shark, but I am interested. I really don't know if it can do the kind of work that I want it to do, so I was wondering if you would be interested in taking another consignment? If you do, I can evaluate the results of a CNC Shark on part of one of my wood projects. Let me know.
Re: First Consignment
To hdtheater. Regarding the consignment work. I'm serious and I would pay you for your time. I'm not looking for free work.
