Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Cutting a totem Pole

Totem poles.... cool.
I have been threatening to do dugout canoes with the
giant tulip logs in these parts... a sure sign I need more to do!

Oh , on a totally unrelated subject... some of us here in Georgia
are preparing to be in Atlanta for the 2002 IWF show. Every cnc
router manufacturer and part supplier on the planet will be there.
ACRES of cnc routers. Some 5 axis cutting at 10 feet/sec or so
(grr). Any one else planning to be there?
