General Information

An easy carve of a Kitchen measuring conversion Chart. Carved out of 1/2" Cherry, using 1/8" bit, 30 degree v-carve and 1/8" for the perimeter. The Drill point at the bottom left use to ensure all multiple carves start at the same location (x=.25, Y = .25). Wife and friends love this item.

Looks Great! How are you getting the contrast between the engraving and the face of the board?
Heather Merlo

It’s the natural contrast from the wood. Being that the face is sanded down to 400 grit yet the engraving isn’t sanded at all. I have found that cherry shows more of the contrast, however they all have once a spray finish or oil is applied. Glad you liked it!

How deep are you making the cuts in this board
Tracy Thurman

If I am not mistaken I did it at at 1/16” depth
Shannon Dolese

I will check and reply if different then stated. Also it should show in the file
Shannon Dolese

are you using the 1/8 bit first and then going back over with the 30 degree v-bit
Tracy Thurman

This is a very nice project. I'm not sure how the guide holes work when you flip the piece over to carve the back. Do you flip the wood vertically of horizontally?
