That bottom one is a girl...I can tell by the bows in her hair.

I think its cool. 8) 8) 8) 8)  Is it going to be a table?  Maybe artwork...Washington Regional Hospital has a bunch of wood art on the walls and that would fit right in. :)

I think I am going to build some pipe legs for it and make it a coffee table. Similar to this one

Its no problem cause its a dead goat skin. :)

The problem with tables that have four legs is one out of the bunch is always shorter than the rest and makes trouble.  With pipe its an easy adjustment...just a little twist.  Good thinking Hack. :)

Poston went to Hackberry's place?

Price of gas is dropping fast out there, or there's many many $300 highly valuable slabs being sold!

That's awesome! I have wanted to try butterflies for a while.

Finally got around to finishing it.


 

  

 


The second picture looks like the table top is bowed, but it's straight. I guess it's the camera on my phone. I poured epoxy in the cracks and it looks like two rivers with bridges crossing them.

I cut my butterflys by hand in a bench vise with a slight taper, two layers of tape worth, and then when you tap them in they fit like a cork. It would not be a big deal to have a straight bit ground a bit bigger on the bottom so you could do the same thing with a CNC. That would eliminate the glue line.

I wish I had a CNC. You have a lot of nice tools to play with.......

jueston

it looks great. i really like the way the Epoxy turned out.

Inlays on the CNC are often done in the method Larry described, they cut both parts with a V-cutter and then the glue line is pretty much invisible. since your butterflys actually hold something together the V-inlay wouldn't work very well, but you can buy bits with a 1 or 2 degree angle just like he suggested.
