Mick S Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 One of the Advanced Furnituremaking classes is going to sit in on our CNC class this morning. I'll be cutting a stool seat out of 1-3/4" maple with Maloof joints as a demo for them. I did a test cut in MDF yesterday using Aspire. Worked out really well.

wdwerker Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 It should look much better in maple ! Can you cut the legs with the machine as well ? Have to flip to finish cutting might make registration tricky. Seat looks comfy. Build the whole thing from MDF, paint it and see how long it lasts before the MDF joints fail !

Catco Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 That looks like a sharp butt scoop... For the legs he could make a jig for registration. Looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 That puts a whole new meaning to the term "Power Carving". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a very similar one some years ago for a CNC training session with an ambrosia maple seat and Peruvian walnut legs, using the Texture tool to create a carved surface on the legs. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
