This is a really neat process of "metalising" material. This is a copper finish & it looks like its been hanging on a damp castle wall for 4 hundred years. I'll post a step by step in anyone wants it. Its a James Booth www.vectorart3d.com file cut in 1/2" mdf apx 26" diam. before & after finish & acid is applied to create the oxidation.
with the exception of a few pieces I cut this out on the cnc machine
sorry for the poor photos
I took the photos and packed it up for a show.
can't retake till Saturday

installed pieces (aspire)
The sign is my first attempt at multiple 3d files in one piece.
The dimensions of the sign are 47.5 x 23.25
The deer is carved on a 12 x 10 piece of Brazilian cheery ½ inch thick.
The skull is in a 11 x 8 piece of Brazilian cheery 1 in thick.
I had some major issues with the z axis creeping up as it traveled along the y axis and had to make mutable passes to complete the sign. speaking with Jim m on ventrillo we went over my ini file and he suggested some changes to discuss with Joey at camaster. Joey made some changes to my ini file the next day, he lowered the smoothing and reduced the acceleration on my x & y axis, I would of thought that this would have added time to the job but in fact it cut my time by several hours. After installing the changes the sign took only 9 hours, before the changes it was 20 hours to do the file.
Well that first ventrilo session with Jim m and Neville sure paid off for me.
Thanks to all three of you for your help and support.

Glad you got the issues sorted out. That is still a very long time to cut, but looks can be deceiving. Very nice all the same. Great job for your first few projects. My first ones are permanently mounted... at the dump :-)
