Half tone cnc

Need something to decorate your cnc workspace ?
Here's something simple that only needs a bit of flat material and whatever paint/stain you have on hand.
 On the left is M.C. Escher's "Eye".  The item to the right is a reproduction of the sexiest automobile ever produced (in my biased opinion).  The eye is a piece of varnished ply,  spray painted black before carving.  The Jaguar is a piece of shelving veneered with white melamine, blackboard paint fills in the dots.  Both were cut with a 90 degree v-bit.

The effect created is hard to photograph,  easier to explain.  Up close it's pattern of dots,  at a distance the dots become an indistinguishable part of the image.  These work best outdoors or in a large room.  Inch size dots on a building size canvas would be an awesome display. 

The software used is full of features and at the same  time simple enough to be self-explanatory.  Thank you Jason Dorie,  here's the link:
