Hack of the Week No.114

Dragonfly Lodge - CNC Cottage Sign

By now, if you own a cottage, you have traveled back and forth between the cottage and home more than a few times this summer already.  You may have even noticed that you could use a new cottage sign to help inspire and set the mood for your next visit!

"Dragonfly Lodge"

This dragonfly inspired cottage sign layout was created using models from these projects:

  • Sign Shape, Cat Tails - Loonie Cottage Sign
  • Dragonfly, Water Lily - On the Lake Cottage Sign

The font we used to simulate the v-carving on this layout is called:  MonoType Corsiva

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!

Enhance your next project with flowers!

Flowers have always been a very popular motif in home decor.  Hand carved into wood, stone or cast in to ceramic to add a bit of nature to our inside spaces.  They can be found all over the place including banisters, furniture, wall hangings, backsplashes, wood trim, and the list goes on.   

One possible layout

This project is packed with so many possibilities because the models are very interchangeable.  It is easy to create a flower motif that you can carry throughout a room or your home.  Even if you are not looking to take on a home renovation, this project is easily hacked together with our other projects to create a very unique project.

This "Mother's Love" wall decoration or brooch was created using models from these projects:

The font we used to simulate the v-carving on this layout is called:  Palatino Linotype
