After slab flattening the 36 x 26 x 2 inch oak slab, it went onto the Shapeoko 5 Pro CNC for engraving. Total engraving time was 5 1/2 hours. Andrew from Lumbersmith Tree Service will fill with epoxy in his shop. It should need approximately 750ml of epoxy to fill. I’m looking forward to seeing the finish product.

Chess Board project is complete. Finished with Odie’s Oil. The Odie’s Oil really makes the blue tinted epoxy stand out. I took a picture of the board half finished to show the difference between the finished and unfinished halves.

The walnut magnetic picture/art frame is complete. This one is a gift so the personalization has been blacked out so not to ruin the surprise. I leave the paper covering on the acrylic to protect against scratches until it’s packaged. I love how the finish makes the walnut grain pop. The magnetic top also makes a very satisfying snap when put in place. Good for displaying and storing pictures or drawings

This is a video of flattening a beautiful piece of walnut for a chess & checker board. Satisfying to see the beautiful grain revealed.

We started some magnetic walnut picture frames on the CNC over the weekend. We will finish them up on Wednesday and send some pictures of the finished product.

Spent a bit of time yesterday preparing an oak slab for engraving using Crafted Elements slab flattening sled. Sled is stiff and works great. This slab is big enough we had to re-adjust my sled size! The oak slab was too big for the CNC! It will be a great sign for lumber_smith Tree Service.
