Yes, this was carved entirely from my CAM software, no CAD involved in this particular design. I pride myself on my fine furniture finishes. There were subtle tool marks, but I also wanted to soften the ridges between the toolpath troughs. When I am creating a rustic piece, I will frequently leave intentional tool marks. Thank you for your feedback.
