- Vectric VCarve Desktop to generate the tool paths
- UGS Platform to send the Gcode to the CNC

Types of wood and epoxy used:
- American Holly
- Hard Maple
- Padauk
- Olive
- Crystal Clear epoxy resin (from the Epoxy Resin Store)
- Carbon-steel Mica powder

CNC router bits used:
- 1-1/8 inch surfacing bit: Amana Tool #45525
- 1/4 end mill: Amana Tool #46577-K
- 1/8 end mill: Amana Tool #46127-K
- 1/4 down-cut bit: Whiteside #RD2100
