Very cool. Was this a test piece or do you intend to do CNC carving like this in the future? What finish do you think you'll use? Any surface prep ahead of time like sanding? Details on the CNC?
So many questions!
I want to make tailpieces (the part that connects the strings to the body) with decorative carvings for string instruments like violins. This piece is actually a tailpiece for a Tagelharpa! (I added holes for the strings after taking this photo)
As for the finish, I'll just use oil, without sanding to preserve detail in the carving.
And here's my cnc.
