OK, so nobody is going to argue that the best looking and most authentic carvings are done by hand.

But, what if your project needs 200 feet of moulding? Are you going to sit there buzzing away with a plunge router for 2 weeks?

Has anybody here done any carving with a CNC? I've got a CNC router with a 4'x8' table that I would love to put to work making tiki-related carvings. As I don't currently have a house of my own to tikify, the machine only does boring things like cut cabinet parts for my custom cabinet business (http://www.near-west.com).

The machine can also do relief carvings of just about any photo or drawing, even a full-wall mural if we tile the panels together.

I'm happy to run parts at nominal cost or trade to fellow tikiphiles. Let me know if you have any wild ideas!
