Been playing around with the CNC function of my SnapMaker A350. Really pleased with how these carvings are turning out! I'm recycling walnut boards from some patent plaque awards that I have no use for. I finish the carvings with a few light coatings of tung oil.

Snuck in a quick trip to Mt. Rainier while out visiting my dad. Wish we could've brought him along, but that's not in the cards. Mountain was completely obscured by clouds, but the wildflowers were spectacular!

My father doesn't like my beard, so I shaved it off. A gift as he enters into hospice care. Now I can give him a proper hug and kiss without all the complaints about how scratchy my face is. 😇
