My wife asked for a heart shaped pendant to be cut from wood on the x-carve. I was happy to oblige. 
Padauk on maple, 1 1/4" diameter, very light rubbed-on walnut oil finish. Cut with a 1/32" bit. I really need to get a handle on the two stage cutting; this would go so much faster! Needs a bigger jump ring, I think.
Nice work!
Haha that’s quite funny! She must have liked it 
Bahaha! Nice one.
The contrast is amazing! Did you cut out the paduak by itself (and put on piece by piece) or was it laminated to the maple?
Good question. I laminated the wood together before carving, and then just made sure to carve deep enough around the heart to get through the top layer. These were both 1/8" layers, but I’m experimenting today with using veneer for the top layer, so there isn’t so much of the top layer to just mill away.
