Most interesting.

 

Once the router began carving, how low did it take until the next step?

Looks very nice. What type CNC did you use. A professional one or a small one like the Comp-u-carve?

NO cheap shots from me... that is awesome in my opinion.. I love the way the deeper the cut was made from the back side, comes out lighter on the front side...  Very impressive!
 
Welcome to the group btw..

Very nice work. I've always liked the way they look.

That is totally awesome in my opinion. Would make a great Chrismas present for the father in law. He collects eagles and would just love that piece.

Awsome!  Interested in your response to Woodwizards question.  Been interested in the compu-carve system for some time now!

 

Great job!

Sorry all for the delayed response, Darn day job keeps getting in the way of fun.

I happen to have both a K2 CNC 25x14 router table along with Comp-u-Carve. This eagle was done on the K2 router, using Vectric.com's PhotoVcarve for converting the photo to the proper cnc code for the software used for motion control (MACH3) on the router.

 

The run time was roughly an hour for this 5 X 7

I have other litho's done on the Carvewright posted on my website, both methods have their own pro's & con's. Basically challenging your skill sets & willingness to spend time with machine servicing & maintenance.
