I’m a first cousin once removed of Dr. Harry James (Jim) Mahan. Jim was the family historian for many years, and he compiled a wealth of information about the Mahan, Campbell, Harvey, Miller and other related families. With permission from Jim’s wife, Jan, I have assumed the honors of preserving Jim’s work, making it more accessible to other family members and friends and doing updates as new information becomes available to me. Visit The Mahan Clan website for more information.
In anticipation of a trip to visit Jan and see her for literally the first time in over fifty years, I glued up some strips of ash and made her a The Mahan Clan cutting board with a stylized family tree.
Cutting the stylized family tree with on the CNC router
The 45 degree vee bit with a carbide insert cuts very cleanly
This custom design was created using VCarve Desktop
After rounding the corners and easing the edges, the cutting board is ready for finishing
