Some early made XMas gifts
« on: August 22, 2009, 04:37:05 PM »
I've been working on a couple of gifts (pendants) for my wife and daughter and thought I'd share. They're made from Corian and this stuff is really fun to work with and it has that nice vintage glow like ivory. For scale, the jump ring hole is .062.

For my daughter, the guitar pick. She's not a guitar player but a rocker at heart for sure.




For my wife, the oval pendant and it's the #27 intertwined and mirrored with a some engravings all around the edge. The #27 is just a little "inside" thing she and I share together.



Thanks for looking-
Dave

Thanks, Chris, yes, that is a simple texture around the edge and I used VCarve Pro for drawing and pathing. To cut, I used my Taig Mill withe 2 different cutters (90 degr. engraving Vbit and .062 endmill) and 3 different path setups.

Good work Dave. I bet they will appreciate those much more than something you could buy.

Thanks, fellas, and no worries on stealing from the countertop, there's still plenty of counterspace left  ;D
