Have been working on some projects for friends and clients. Wanted to share the engraves.

I still have some cleaning to do but don’t want to go crazy. I’m really happy with them overall.

Really, really nice! Are you planning on tinting them?

Very cool! What thickness is the material you used?
It’s .25 maple ply that has a draft board core so I can get really great engraves with the woodgrain showing on the surround. We have a really cool local plywood place. The guys have been willing to order things in for me which has been ace. I think it helps that I make them random fun things that I bring in. The owner just asked me if he could order some magnets and coasters with their logo to sell in the shop. It’s becoming a really awesome relationship!

Awesome!
I want to find a local plywood place to have that relationship with! =P
These must take forever to engrave, eh?
Really lovely.

Yeah the Yellowstone was a deep 3D and took 3.5 hours. 
now I need to gently clean the surface a little more.

I outlined the lakes and did an additional score which I feel like really brought them out. Well on Yellowstone. I’m going to do a second one for another set of friends that live in Sandpoint and spend tons of time in the CDA like. I really want to highlight that piece in particular.

Ive been dying to figure out how to do this exact thing. What is the secret. Color gradients for engraving? multilayered svg files? I really want to get more use out of my GF.
What type of wood did you use?
It was 1/4” maple ply that had an mdf core.
Did you use grey scale images for the engrave? Sorry for the back to back questions but I’m intrigued.

I did use grey scale.
Amazing.
My brother and sister in law hike a lot; I may try something like this using their hiking routes for Christmas gifts!
