There are several problems with machining these maps. Sharp changes in elevation, ie. cliffs, cause the most trouble. If I don't take this into account (and I am discovering that I am a "learn from hard experience kind of guy") then the machine crashes into the cliff and messes the whole carving up. My bits can only accommodate an inch, so I have to plan around the places where it needs to carve deeper than that.
I want this to be a coffee table with glass over the carving...and if I am feeling really ambitious then I'd like to paint this a gray (with a hint of blue) and speckle it with some black atop the "ridges".

Ever thought of trying to sell the MoonQ20 table? ;)
Anyways, it really looks great :D
I wonder if Riverdale would work as well...
I'm actually out of town ATM but plan on making moonq20 (and making it for sale) when i get back.
