In this video, I take you through a How To of making a Wavy American Flag using a 3D model purchased from Etsy. I show you how to import the model into Vcarve, adjust the model dimensions based on the material dimensions and how to apply the Stars and Stripes to the model so that they follow the contours of the waves. I also show how I set the toolpaths and what bits I used. The last half of the video shows me making the actual flag, using walnut and finishing it with walnut colored Danish Oil and Minwax Semi-Gloss Spray Polycrylic.
Total Time: 3 hours machining, 1 hour to sand and apply finish. The Danish Oil sat for 72 hours before applying the top coat.
Total Dimensions: Roughly 24"x13" (not exact measurements, but close). This was made using 26" walnut cutoffs from a previous project.
