Trying out Photo V-Carve

[aa]

Been awhile since I've been able to post anything on here since I've been spending most of my free time taking care of some vacation property we bought almost a year ago. Finally got some projects done though. Tried out the (relatively new) Photo V-Carve toolpath to make a coat rack for the new property - I think it worked pretty well. Maple with somewhat dark stain & satin poly.

That looks great. Another option you could try is to use a lighter wood and apply a dark stain first. Then cut the image on the pre-stained wood. This will give a higher contrast image with light wood (cut area) and stained area. You have to play with the resolution but it works better on larger work pieces.

Thanks Bruce. Good idea about staining first - of course that would require me to plan ahead!
