Trying to use up my off cuts so making another charcuterie board and wanted a carved design on it. I may or may not fill with epoxy depending on how it comes out.
But this is what I came up with using AI image generator and height map generator. Used 2d software to reduce noise and clean up image a little bit.
So if anyone wants to make a charcuterie board, here it is the pattern.
This is what my cnc software shows for the pattern.
Very nice Oscar. The attached is what my CNC software shows as a machined simulation using a 1mm ball nose cutter.
Could you tell us how you generated the height map?
Hi. That looks great.
For this one, it was 100% AI generated. You throw in a single image and it creates the depth map from it.
There is a race war between different organizations/companies to make a height map generator. Google, Adobe, Microsoft,…etc are all developing their own. The one I used was Marigold depth estimation model.
There are several other height map generators I am playing with right now.
Board completed. Off cuts were white limba, hickory, maple, walnut, purple heart. Two coats of lacquer.
Using up more of my off cuts so another charcuterie board.
Here is the pattern if anyone wants to carve it.
I’ll post a picture of the board as soon as it stops being super smelly. Two coats of lacquer.
Also AI generated.
My new charcuterie board. Added another coat of lacquer for a total of 3. There were a few dull spots with 2 coats.
It’s worse than fruity, it’s cheesy! 
There are no sour grapes in the crowd.
