The wood choices and the abalone is a great combination. Beautiful work.

Such a cool discovery! I’m definitely bookmarking this for ideas 
I still have some pieces left from the koa I picked up from Amanda and Chris when I visited the Big Island a few years back. The stuff is gorgeous. Easy to work with (it cuts with the PG medium walnut hardwood setting reliably) and has so much life. I heartily recommend it.
I just made this for my SO yesterday out of it!

Thank you for sharing. Your pieces are gorgeous. I have had a sheet of abalone for years sadly waiting for me to cut it. Maybe this will spur me on!

If anyone can share cut settings in BTM, that would be awesome.
Abalone is one of my favorite looks but I have yet to actually use any… I gotta order some.

Koa is such a beautiful wood. The abalone inlay really matches well.

Wow! That would make nice inlays for knife scales. Could you PM me the laser settings? I’m in the process of making some knife handles and I’d love to try it. How thick is this stuff? I imagine not very.

These are BEAUTIFUL!!! It’s also nice to have a glowforge buddy connection out here in Hawaii!!!
Thanks for sharing your source. Craft Closet has a nice selection of abalone inlay too. Really fun to work with. I’ve never adjusted size and it fits perfectly. Always good to have more sources!

Hello,
This is fabulous! I’m making some personalized tools for my family. I am struggling with getting the abalone safely off the backing. The settings didn’t cut through the 3M adhesive backing at all. As I’m altering them I keep obliterating the shape of the text. Any tips? I really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Deb
