This project utilized almost every feature of the CarveWright system and is a great demonstration of it’s power to create anything. Below I’ll outline the processes we went through to design and build this project. The Chess Pieces Earlier…
I’m getting started on my next build. This project is a flute designed by Brandon MacDougall of Liquidguitars.com. Brandon is well known in the CarveWright community and beyond for his beautiful guitars, violins, and other stringed instruments. Not only do these pieces look beautiful, they also sound beautiful. In order to manufacture these with the CarveWright, Brandon…

Traditionally, one would trace an image onto a block of some sort, carve away (by hand) the negative space to create…

I wanted to do a piece of cabinetry, but also wanted to use some experimental techniques to show off some new possibilities. We had created a “New…
