It is very beautiful.
Can you please share more information about the dimensions, the way you hold down the wood on the cnc bed, the cutting bits ,how you turn it and align it etc...

Sure.

It's 130x130x36mm, two sided machining operation with an 8mm endmill to rough, 4mm ballnose to finish. Ideally I'd have used a long tapered ball nose but didn't have one to hand, so had some silly stickout on a standard ballnose for clearancs. Held down with 3D tabs. Alignment with brass pins - you cut pockets for them on the first side, then the matching pattern into the spoil board. Ugly in progress photo attached.
