Rustic Clock

To start I wanted to use this very cool looking piece of wood and I wanted to turn it into a clock. I thought of many possible ideas on how but I ultimately decided on carving a landscape on the top. Then I would just carve out a spot for the clock on the side. The landscape on top is a mountain range from Montana that I recently visited. I found a website called map2stl.com that allowed me to be able to get a STL file of the landscape. From there I downloaded the file into VCarve Pro and set the dimensions of the top of my clock. Then I saved all my toolpaths and carved it out.

• A 4" x 4" x 4" Cube of Wood
• A 3" Clock (Adjustments if needed)
• A CNC Machine
• A copy of VCarve Pro

• Use map2stl.com to find your landscape
• Download the file

• Set up job dimensions
• Import STL File of 3D landscape

• Set up Roughing and Finishing Toolpaths
• Export the Toolpaths to computer or usb

• Secure the cube of wood (I used a brace)
• Let the machine cut!
