Thanks

a bit too modern for my liking, but a very very nice piece of kit none the less.

[kvedros]

Not sure if you mean the style of the turning or the technique

[zugzub]

Thats not craftsmanship. Thats programming a CNC machine. A craftsman would have carved it by hand like they did in the old days.

It is a cool machine though

@buddywill50 craftsmanship? It's a CNC machine ;p People do this by hand ;p

[GrandValleyFlooring]

Very cool.

@Estevan4882 all right then, thanks for clarifying that.

@NearTheLimits Poplar is a very common tree. It us usually only good for pulp and paper products because of the weak nature of its wood. It most likely won't even grow in a rainforest environment. Look stuff up dude.

@snoopdog68 What a stupid thing to say!

A drooling retard can run a CNC, no skill needed.

Cnc allow people to make some awesome cuts!

This is why the Brazilian, Canadian and Indonesian forrests are dissapearing.

This was made for an interior application, but I wish there were a material that I could use for exterior other than wood for small custom runs. In the South - where I am - I would probably use a composite on my own home.
