Nordic Santa

On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a Nordic Santa ornament! This cute Nordic inspired Santa character has been carefully modelled in Aspire (take a look at the video to see how I modelled it) The ornament has a flat bottom so it can stand upright and is machined using three toolpaths, a roughing toolpath (1/4”End Mill), a finishing toolpath (1/8” Tapered Ball Nose) and a Profile toolpath (1/4” End Mill). Once machined the Santa ornament requires minimal cleanup, just a sand to remove the tabs and lift off any fuzzies. I finished the part by applying a stain followed by a coat of shellac to accentuate the details!
