If you cannot read Chinese characters, ;-) this is the character for Love.

Carved in purple heart, Wood was dyed using TransTint and finished with Zinsser Seal Coat Shellac.

I was attempting for the face of the character being black, raised carving and background being natural purple heart.

A textured background was carved behind the character, (hard to see)

Not sure If I like the deep purple heart color. My wife and her father really like it.

Character was scanned in on a flat bed scanner. Image was prepared for carving in Paint Shop Pro X2, saved as a bitmap file.

Height map and character bevel was created in Mesh Cam. Pattern imported into designer.

Carve time was around 45 minutes at "Best" setting.

Thanks

I noticed a slight bow in the MDF after the carve, I will have to make a support frame in the back to make the whole thing straight and to hang it on the wall.

I tried to post on the other site but could not get the picture file small enough to meet their requirements. It was thumbnail size size by the time I got under 117 kb.
