Can't even escape this by being queer - I'm mid 30s and about half of my straight couple friends have kids now, none of the queer couples do, and yet we're still asked about it sometimes, it's so odd.

Fortunately all my siblings have at least one now so finally my mum's stopped asking...

RIP Sean ❤️

Thanks! It's about 25cm long overall :) so slightly less than impressive I guess based on the established metrics

Thanks! Yeah I'm always a bit wary of running these bits too fast, I've broken far too many lately, but I'll max out the rpm and see what happens 🤞

Yknow, I actually would really like to know how to stop this nonsense happening...

0.5mm tapered ballnose in maple, doing a raster finish pass in the grain direction, I keep getting these nests of strandy stuff on descending sloped sections, takes an annoying amount of cleanup to remove

Any ideas how to adjust the parameters to stop it? Tends to happen in oak as well

Thanks! Full transparency the rough carving was done on a CNC machine, but all finished by hand :)

Yeah the modelling part took longer than actually making it! I'm not much of a 3d sculptor so I did a lot of the fine details by hand after the milling

Couple more beauty shots
