I used solid works to design and print out the tombstone and its base. Then saved it as a DXF file.

Then I came over to solid works and this is what I used to make the perfect shapes for the cnc router to cut.

Creating the Program

Then I used vcarve to put the names onto the tombstone then I put my project on a hard drive for the cnc router to cut out

Spray Painting

Then I used spray paint to get the names black so that the tombstone seamed aged and so the names popped out more.

Paint Rolling
