Routing the dragon beams

We’ve begun work on the large custom-made chandelier for the Copper Crown. There is no artistic rendering, but Peter and I have discussed it at length and are clear about how it will look when finished. Peter first sculpted a dragon’s head, scanned it with his phone and then created a digital model. This model was imported into our software to create a CNC router file. We added a wood texture to the file, so the final result will appear to be a heavy wood beam. Our ShopSabre routed the halves of the textured beams. Next, we’ll cut cores with a chase for the wiring. The two crossed beams will be assembled with a steel ring embedded through them to hold up the dripping candle lights. Stay tuned to see this exciting project become a reality…
