I think it looks like those cross-sections of earth… Just the dinosaur skeleton is missing…

We learned the Principles of Geology in one earth science class. They are very clever and they apply to a lot of stuff. So if you’re interested in this kind of sediment as history, it is applicable:
I use the principles to find missing paperwork on my desk.

I came to realize that the LowRider is definitely more accurate if you take your time and do conventional milling with a rather large finishing pass (0.3mm). Look how great it fits!

Yeah I keep playing with the finishing pass 10% does seem pretty good for wood products, then you can play with the speed a bit to avoid chatter if you start to get it.

It’s no fun though.

I end up with jugs of mineral oil like that too, but used for keeping kendo bamboo swords supple so that they don’t shower bamboo splinters in people’s eyes…

Finally a new, complex project. Testing some new inlay strategies for lazy people. 
Going for a four-colour inlay this time. 
Bonus points if you can guess the full motive. It’s from an anime.

Fixed that for you. 
but I could be wrong.
That’s not correct, but good guess. It’s older and a movie.

I’m impressed! I don’t think I’d figure that one out, ever…

You have to know it, but then it’s pretty obvious I think.

I saw Princess Mononoke a long time ago. Perhaps it’s worth seeing again with the kids?
It definitely is, but I would not watch it with my 9-year-old, it’s pretty brutal. Maybe 12?

While the bigger inlays aren’t always spot on (I really need to stop eyeballing the tool changes…), the small details like the eyes and warpaint are spot on (I did those with the inlay endmill without a cleanup toolpath first).
See how great this warpaint is? See?
Those details are tiny! Yes, that whole eye is 18mm. Now, @bitingmidge, tell me how you can do tiny inlays better with a laser…
