You can find good examples of weave patterns online by searching for Cane Weave and similar terms. The chair cane weave pattern is a 3D model I created in Aspire. The 3D mode in the center of the weave is one that comes with Aspire clip-art. The bowl is 11' diameter and cut to 3-1/2' height. It has a 610 mm 圆10 mm cutting area and is supported using a SG20U rail system. The BobsCNC E4 is an excellent choice to begin with. Woodcarving patterns can be downloaded in 2D CAD file format (dwg) or in vector file formats (eps & svg). The top panel is 1/8' thick curly ambrosia maple with a 1/4' wide bocote separator strip, the bottom panel is a 1/8' thick lighter red shade of padauk. The first in the list is going to be one of the cnc routers that we personally love.

I used a 1/32" tip diameter tapered ball nose cutter from Precise Bits to cut the weave patterns and used 10% stepover. Woodcarving patterns that you can download here are suitable for either chip carving style or relief making (high relief (alto-rilievo), mid-relief (mezzo-rilievo), low-relief (basso-rilievo, or French: bas-relief), and shallow-relief (rilievo schiacciato)). This is not used on the bottom panel where I did not want sound holes. Wow, another one around doing guitars on a Carvewright That's awesome I'd love to hear more about how you use your machine, what guitar parts you use it for, etc. If you want to cut through the wood in the "weave holes" use the "Create vector boundary from selected component" tool to create vectors to use for pocketing the holes through the material. Just thought I'd post a few pictures of the latest guitar I recently finished. Once that is drawn, open the "Create shape from vectors" tool and select all grid vectors and set those as the rails, then select the flattened half circle as the shape and click on Done. An ellipse will work also, but the flattened circle has slightly more abrupt sides. Above the vectors is a small half circle that has been flattened a little by scaling. The a single 45 degree diagonal is offset enough times to fill in the square grid, sloping left and sloping right. The screen capture shows a pair of horizontal vectors and a pair of vertical vectors that have been offset enough times to form the basic square grid. The weave is actually simple to create Angie. They are a snug fit, and the tung oil finish on the fret board helps lock them in when it dries. Actually, they look better and I just press them into the pockets with a flat block of wood until flush. The fired pistol primers are my "sort of trademark", and it's far safer to hammer them into the pockets than live primers. This spacer layer allows the fret board to project onto the top panel. The spacer layer is actually a 1/8" thick by 1" wide strip of red oak with a 1/8" by 1/4" strip of bocote glued to each edge of the red oak strip. Here are some close up photos of the bocote spacer layer, large pistol primer fret markers, and the sound hole weave.
