Oramask 813, https://www.toolstoday.com/v-14855-ora813.html , was applied to the piece and it was carved. The bit carves through the mask perfectly leaving no cleanup work, especially with the cleanup pass built into the Vectric software, https://www.toolstoday.com/vcarve-desktop-9-0-software-for-cnc-1.html !

The carve was painted with General finishes Milk Paint in Emerald, Sunglow, Persimmon, Holiday Red and Klein Blue colors all available on our website – https://www.toolstoday.com/search?q=milk%20paint&page_num=3 . The milk paint dries quickly and limits any bleeding without sealing even on soft wood like cedar. The masking was pulled off and the piece was finished with some Helmsman Sparurethane. Super happy with how this piece turned out! #short #shorts
