Woven Ellipses

Post by chostet »

I am working on a sales sample for some builders. It is some interwoven ellipses that will hopefully captivate their attention. We shall see!

Those look gorgeous, Chris. Coincidently, I am attempting to do the exact same thing. You know what they say about great minds . . .

Very nice Chris. What exactly are you carving? PVC?

That looks great, Chris. Should be an easy sale.
What bit(s) are you using to get those nice sharp inside corners?

I cut 1" MDF... I used a 1/8" tapered ballnose and chiseled out the corners to sharpen them up.

These are really nice. What is the cutting time to make one of these?

I had 2.5 hours of cut time in this for roughing, finish, and all of the profile clean up cuts. I used a pretty tight stepover (10%) on an 1/8" ballnose so it could have gone faster if I wanted to sand a little more.
