What cut settings do you recommend for the Abalone sheets?

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

Do you have any koa wood available? Please feel free to contact me either here or by email.

I have decided that I am going to use my Silhouette to cut the abalone.

If I remember correctly from my jewelry making days, Abalone (aka mother of pearl) dust is toxic. Be very careful how and where you cut it.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the heads up. These were the ones my wife purchased. Hopefully there is no issue.

Aloha, Mahalo for sharing your sources, I’m a native from the mainland and this is exactly what I was looking for. now I can really make my native designs the way I was envisioning them.

Lookit me, late to the party, again

These are GORGEOUS!! You’ve done such an amazing job; I hope they’re very successful for you!!

I came looking for any advice I could find about cutting abalone sheets. I have a beautiful sheet I received for free (in exchange for review ), and it’s been sitting unused for quite some time, because I didn’t know what to do with it. I’m now thinking it would make amazing dragonfly wings.
Size of my sheet: 7.79 x 3.85 inches (198 x 98mm). Thickness: 0.03 inches (0.8mm).

Is it awful to ask for guidance on settings, after all this time?

At any rate, beautiful work! I wish all the best success!

The search function offers this: Abalone / Mother of Pearl Inlay as well as some other insight. As you undoubtedly know, testing will be necessary.

Thank you! Very helpful.

I did do a search earlier, before asking, but maybe I’m a lousy searcher. So, I appreciate you muchly!
