Photogrammetry Scanning

Picture
While taking hundreds of photos in the blink of an eye the scanner sends the information back to a computer and builds a 3D model based on the information it reads. This 3D model can be used for many applications. We make a tool path of the 3D model and send it through to our CNC router to carve the model out of wood.


Picture
Do you have an antique chair and want several more just like it? We can scan it, create a 3D model and create the compents for assembly on our CNC router.

Milling

We do all our milling here in Coghills Creek. You are welcome to have your tree transported here and we will mill it. We have our own trees too (such as Cypress, Pine, Cedar, Elm, Oak) and can mill these to your specifications.

Profile (or Knife) Grinding



Machining

Picture
We can machine jigs and tooling in nylon, steel and aluminium.

Timber Bending

Picture
We can bend craftwood to produce a curved front for a kitchen, office or restaurant counter. We can also apply veneer to curved surfaces.

Pictured here are two craftwood curves joined together to make a 180 degree curved front for a counter.

Marquetry

This is a photo of a marquetry and book-matched wooden veneer box Peter made for the girl he hoped would become his wife (she did - it was given to her with a ring inside!). The veneer is burl murtle and the woods used in the flower marquetry include bird's eye huon pine, ebony and sycamore.
