I don’t quite know what an herb splitter is, but it is cool looking! I do see sanded edges to make sharp edges, but those appear to be done by hand. I like it, they are pretty, and I have some aboriginal feather designs that would look amazing in that handle. They would definitely be a v-carve bit though, which means changing bits. I do my v-carve first, and the cutout after.
I do stuff like this too, but I do the carve and clean-up, my wife does the painting, and then I finish it.
This is an excellent example of what an M4 can do with a medium sized project, with repeated accuracy. Thank you for posting this.
