Hello,
Here is the May 2012 project I created for owners of the current version of ShopBot PartWorks, VCarve Pro 6.5 and Aspire 3.5 (and future higher versions). It is a FREE download, courtesy of Vectric!

Here is a unique and “fancy” way to make it convenient for yourself and family members to write down needed grocery items between trips to the store! The project features an attractive v-carve design that harkens back to vintage motifs common to many antique hand-carvings.
The sample shown is finished with a cherry wood stain color, but a faux metal finish could be interesting, as well. The overall dimensions of the plaque are about 9¾" x 17" x ¾" deep.
Special thanks to ShopBot and Vectric for making this project possible!
• I created the design/layout using Vectric's VCarve Pro 6.5 software.
• I used a ShopBot PRSAlpha BT48 to run this project and the toolpath settings were specifically for that machine and bits I used. You can make changes to suit your particular machine, bits, etc.
I used the following bits...
V-Carve: 90° V-Bit
Cut Profiles: 1/4" Down-Cut EM
Apply your choice of finish. Here’s what I used on my sample Grocery List Plaque made from Select Pine:
• Rust-Oleum Ultimate Stain Traditional Cherry
• 2 coats Krylon clear Acrylic spray
• Flat Black Latex paint in v-carve recesses
• 2 coats Krylon clear Acrylic spray as topcoat
