Scott Pearlman and The Brightwood Tavern

Scott Pearlman is at it again and he has set the standard higher for himself.  His latest project is not motorcycle related, like his last one, but we are pretty sure you will like it just the same!  He used one of our projects to create this tavern sign. 

The Brightwood Tavern Sign

"I simply used all the 3D images from the "Western Saloon #1" package. I only had inch and a half cedar, so because the bull skull was over an inch in height, I had to make a plywood backing plate. Lots of hand sanding and a clear coat brought out the cedar highlights.
Thanks for all your design work."

Scott sure did make that cedar look fantastic, not to mention his layout is top notch! 

Thanks again Scott for sharing your project with us!

Customer Focus - Bob Hagan

This great hack was sent to us from Bob Hagan.  Notice the detail achieved in the texture he used for the background.  

"It was made on a CNC Shark HD Pro."

Bob used his copy of Vectric's VCarve Pro V8 to create his layout.

"(models used are) by Design and Make, which is Deep In The Wild. The woodgrain background is from the, Elk Scenes." 

Both of those projects are included in the Wildlife Scenes Collection and are bundled together for a special proce.

"The Celtic Knot Frame is from Vectric."

It is easy to overlook the free clip-art that gets installed with your Vectric software.  In this case Bob took advantage of the Celtic weaves... nice choice!  

"It is made on 1” thick cedar, it is 21” tall and 24” wide. It has 3 clear coats of lacquer."

"Thank you for noticing the detail. I really enjoy your software."

Thank you Bob for sharing your project with us!

Hack of the Week No.115

"Loons on the Lake"

September is just a few weeks away,  Those of you that have had time this summer to spend on the lake you're sure to have heard the sounds of the loons early in the morning.  That scene, that you find yourself waking too, is something that deserves its own carving to sit on your mantel during those cold winter months. 

"Loons on the Lake"

This loon inspired layout was created using models from these projects:

Note - This hack was assembled in Aspire V8 for presentation purposes.  It could have been done in VCarve Pro V8 or VCarve Desktop.

Why not hack together your own layout mixing and matching models from other projects or from your own library!  For some great inspiration check out our  hacks page!
