Photo VCarve

Here is a photo vcarve my husband did for a customer after they finished their renovations to their home and moved in.

excellent details...what wood and finish?

[phil_o]

That is definitely an excellent carving.

The sign is out of Maple, and the finish was sanding sealer and then gel stain. We read how to do this somewhere on this forum if you want more detail on how to do, Ryan can find that forum.

my guess is that he drew a vector oval over the part of the pic he wanted to cut and selected the oval as the boundary to cut to

Hi Larry,

There's a thread on the Vectric Forum that contains a pdf + video
explaining how to limit PhotoVCarve toolpaths inside an area.

See > http://www.vectric.com/forum/viewtop...p=49994#p49994

I hope this helps,

Tony

We imported the photo in Photoshop and then put a mask around it to hide what we didn't want to cut. Then saved it as is and imported it to our PhotoVCarve program.
