I'm new to the cnc game but did some projects recently for some customers that I would like to share and possibly get some feedback and input.
The first project is an art piece for a local artist. This artist has used wood panels to project onto the surface video of moving water to give a "cascade" effect. In this next evolution of his design, we used a maple panel where I routed a pattern provided by my client with a 90 degree engraving bit at 1 o.c.. The idea is to give depth to the panel and add a 3d effect under the water projection. There were some interesting results where the paths would cross and make pyramid like shapes.

The second project was a trim panel that had some unique curves that would be hard to do manually. The panel was originally meant to go onto a mirror and sit into a niche as a decorative feature for a home but ended up just cutting out and glued onto a MDF backer board and eventually finished. I cut the panel out with the cnc and came back with a router to get the profile. Overall pretty straight forward.
The cnc has been great for this unique project and I use it for things here and there for our business but feel as I'm only getting 5% out of the machine's full potential which can't happen fast enough for me.
I appreciate your time and look forward to hearing your feedback.
