📁 FILE FORMATS:

You will receive it in four different formats: AI, DXF, SVG, and CRV.

Please make sure you can open them before purchasing.

📦 WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE CRV FILE:
• Separate toolpaths for the pocket
• Separate vector layers and toolpaths for the inlay insert
• Universal inlay parameters — may still require fine-tuning depending on your router bit and milling depth

⏱️ ESTIMATED CARVING TIME:
Approximately 5 hours for both the pocket and the inlay insert.

🎯 VECTOR QUALITY:
All vector artwork is clean, precise, and free of artifacts — optimized for smooth toolpaths and perfect inlay fits.
The design is suitable not only for CNC carving but also for laser cutting and engraving.

🛠️ RECOMMENDED TOOLING AND SETUP:
• I use a TBN (Tapered Ball Nose) bit with a 12.4° angle
• Other bits can be used as long as the cutting depth is reduced accordingly
• Design is layered for easy color separation — ideal for multitone or contrasting wood combinations

🌳 RECOMMENDED WOOD TYPES FOR BEST RESULTS:
• Pocket (base): walnut.
• Inlay insert: maple or cherry.
