Nice Hood. Didn't know you were hard into this I liked Sam. What are these cut in... stainless?
Never did V curving. How does it work - how do you achieve all the shades? Is special lighting required to view them?

Not really in to it as my machines are not the most suitable, axis speed on them is fine but spindle speed too slow so things take a long time. For example the car in the last pic is approx 200mm x 120mm and it took 2.5 to 3hrs.
The boat and the car are 5083 alu and the horse is in brass. The boat actually got made into a number plate for a house in brass and the alu was only as a test. The only pic I have of the finished number plate is not that great
The carving is filled with paint or dye of some sort, the deeper/wider the vee the more paint there is so the darker it shows up.
