I could rack up a tutorial but couldn’t really claim it’s my idea. I’m a YouTube cnc expert! I basically watch more knowledgeable people do things and then bastardise it to do my thing.

I think that describes most of us. So who's existing online stuff would you recommend for providing the 'Instant Genius' effect?
I see you use Vectric which I think is seen as the go-to package for this kind of work. Fortunately the Men's Shed in my new home town decided to buy Vectric Pro to go with their newly aquired router so I have access to it if I borrow one of their laptops.

Well, the stuff I like...... I suppose the king of it from what I’ve seen on youtube is broinwood. This little video sparked my interest in cnc. I’m still trying to work out his settings for the super fine detail. Half of me wonders if it’s his wood choice. American black walnut with maple. I believe these are much tighter grained than the cheaper woods I use making a better cut. But wood here in the uk is super expensive. I recon that amount of ABW and maple would cost me nearly £200! As a newbie I can’t make a mistake on that so shan’t be blowing that cash. Plus if I were to be spending that money I’d want a pretty penny for the result. Broinwood has a huge audience and could sell these for £750 all day long. I don’t.

Thanks for that youtube recommendation, I had not seen him before. The guy I had seen doing this on youtube is mtmwood.

Did you catch where he states that such a chopping board takes him 3weeks if he isn't working on anything else! So £750 is pretty cheap. You are right that the right timber is important and not cheap.....untill you start charging for your time, which then quickly swamps the material costs!
