So...folks, I was looking into my kit box to make an inventory and came across that each CNC board required cleaning from CNC dust. I recall, Uwe already mentioned this in his post. I took one board and decided to clean using a simple tool made on-the-fly. Here is how the board looks without cleaning.

and macro images, just to have an idea of t to deal with.

A simple tool I made works just fine.
However, It took me almost 40 minutes to clean one board. With this speed, it will take forever to clean them all. So I thought, it should be a better way, to clean the debris. I took my favorite brass brush and ....miracle! It does a really good job get out sawdust. Brass wires don't scratch the wood but have enough power to remove the wood chips. Take a look at those tools.
The brass brush doesn't clean 100%, but it does remove close enough. Whatever left, I use my tool to finish it all. Here is how it does look when clean.

I love this macro, it gives you an idea of a very uniform timber. The color of the timber is almost like Pear.
* One word of caution, do. When using the 'tool' (not the brush) apply very light pressure when removing debris, excessive force may destroy the nicely made edges. If you plunge the tool too deep, it will be hard to 'scoop' sawdust out, take less amount per scoop, specifically at the curve and slot areas.
...and now, I will clean all the boards, so they will be ready later.
to be continued... thanks for your interest.
