For Your Safety

1. The methods illustrated here are only intended for use with a CNC machine.
2. Make certain that the workpiece is secured and that all components of the fixture are securely fastened to the table.
3. Use a guard, eye and hearing protection at all times.

Dom Riccobene machines this Citrus Canyon from plywood, wedge and dyed veneers using Amana Tool® CNC router bits.

Landscape modeled after the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Filmed in 4K.

The terrain is 10m data of the Grand Canyon just before it widens (36.3868804,-111.8592424). The real world size is 20km x 20km and the model scale is 1:100000. The piece is 20cm x 20cm x 5cm. The machine is a Freedom Machine Tool Patriot 4x8 (by DMS).

Total machine time was approximately 3 hrs. Licensed Music: “I.O.U.” by @dahtrump.
