We had our yearly weekend seminar for our training group in North Carolina. I brought some items made for the first time with X-Carve. 6106 aluminum and various hardwoods.
Also got some photos of two sword restorations that I did a couple of years ago. I’m going to start cutting the jewelers wax models and other parts for casting with X-Carve.
Dude, you totally read my mind! Custom tsubas!!! 
I made my own bokken from some ipe. It turned out really well, but it was a bit tricky at times trying to cut the mune on the router table with the grain direction constantly changing.
I’ve not tried one on cnc yet, but have made quite a few by hand for others.
I have cut one tsuba in wax with the X-Carve and did the smoothing by hand.
That’s awesome! Looks great. I love the design. Very classic. Are you going to cast it in bronze?
