3D Engraved Ornaments for an Autist unknown boy

Hi :glowforge: Community, I hope you are all doing well and stealing few halloween sweets from your kids! :stuck_out_tongue:

So, I’ve seen a post from a caring mum about her 8 year old boy with Autism that he started to talk when he was 7 so very high level of Autism.

He loves open cards and posts and LOVES wolves! So I thought!

Why not make something to this little boy?

Thank to our amazing little laser tool, I’ve decided to send him these bits. Also as Xmas is right in the corner. A xmas ornament for him as well!

He will be opening the gift box this evening! Will post images of him if his mum sends it to me as well!

Thanks!

Happy Forging!

PS.: 3D Engraved Wood is Birch Ply.

Wow! What a great story! And AMAZING 3D results on that birch wood! The depth looks incredible! Did you end up cleaning them somehow after cutting or is that just how they came out?

I always clean it up with nail polish remover and dry it up after with hair dryer!

Truly stunning work but I notice one thing to think about, When a shape comes under pressure, interior sharp points concentrate the stress, but broad curves spread it out. For this reason the loops to support the design are a lot stronger if they blend out the connection,
I started out with these…
