Wabi Sab - E's video: Farmhouse DIY CNC Deer Head

We needed some art for the living room and figured a deer head would be a suitable addition. I found a 3D model online and modified it on Rhino to work with the width of material I had (old subfloor) and the size I wanted. Looking back on the project there would be several things I would change. When plotting the cuts I was mostly concerned about maximizing efficiency in material so I would have the least amount of waste. I however neglected to think about the grain orientation and now its staggered and very noticeable to me. Im also not the biggest fan of the stain. Im not too keen on the high contrast in the grain and next time I would just keep it a natural finish. Overall Im happy with it enough that it can stay on the wall. There is no glue, Its all held together with 4 screws in the back and everything else is notched in so it can be disassembled at anytime. I find it a little profound that I used material that was removed during the restoration of this 100+ year old Farm House, that would otherwise be waste and turned it into art. Just another step in its history and purpose as a material in the same house.
