2D Laser Etching

Models of the wave designs before flattening





Flattened images using make2d





Didn't work so well on the type of wood, also ran into issues with the lines being too thin and made it hard to see

Redid the design on some scrap cedar, and tried going with the grain and against the grain



Liked this one a lot and also love the bordering, but think i overkilled it and ended up leaving with smoke marks and some discoloring around it.



This came out alright, but just didnt like the grain going up and down and feels like it ruins the flow of the etch and also had the center rings showing up in the middle of the board.


But that aside, had 3mm wood panels of different types, (Cherry, Red Oak, Spanish Cedar,  that I wanted to explore on and also have them prepped up for prints at the show and sale but I guess I'll be doing that for another time.
