I wasn’t to thrilled on the results of 03 (just very plain and as a test I learned from it), so I flipped the wood over and engraved 04 on the other side.
Results were very cool and exactly what I expected. But, it is VERY much a pain to get the little teeny tiny bits of masking out of the engraved surface. You can definitely see this in the 04 version just above. I need to figure out a better method as they are really stuck in there!
Packing tape … use it like you would a lint roller all those little pieces come right up. It didn’t work as well on the leather but for the wood it works great. I really like these!
We’ve been waiting to show off some of our photo engraving until the very latest raster code is fully baked, but I gotta say, you’re doing some pretty amazing stuff with what you’ve got!
These are simply gorgeous! Very exciting to see and I really appreciated your thorough documentation of all the steps including any successes and failures. Thank you.
Right. I used some duct tape I had, and also tried an actual lint roller, but some of the teeny tiny pieces are really stuck in there. Don’t think I needed to engrave quite so deep with power, so I’ll tone it down a bit next time. Just learning some settings and keeping a log of each one I do.
Beautiful!!
On a side note, I couldnt help thinking that it looks like a reptile shedding its skin when you peeled the mask off the first pic of, I assume, your daughter…
Love how those came out.
