I wanted a bird for a book case shelf and decided to machine one out ,but no matter what feed rates I picked I could get this bird done in less than
4 hrs.
I feel the cost of this bird it would never sell ,i always like to look at what things cost to build,this would be better carved out by hand.
Mind you i could have changed the step over on the finish cut, i used 8%
Even though it was quite a block of wood
