Cyprus milled out with blue resin surrounding the island

Cyprus Milled with Resin

Growing up Greek-Cypriot, I am constantly hearing stories about the homeland and have visited many times, so I wanted to show my love for the island and create a piece for my grandparents. I first 3D modeled the land of Cyprus on Fusion 360 with a frame. Once my design was completed, I used the ShopBot to mill out the surrounding area of the island. When the area was milled, I filled the gap with blue and white resin to replicate the ocean. Since the wood I used is a natural material, it gives the piece an organic aesthetic with a glossy finish of blue resin. This project is still under construction and just need to add finishing touches.

Milling it Out

After modeling my piece, I used the ShopBot to mill out the surrounding area.

Pouring Resin

I mixed Mica powder into resin, to create a glossy and wavey finish to the ocean around the island.
