Headed to a friend’s 70th Birthday party today, finally came up with a design after overthinking it for three days 
Maple plywood proofgrade. Can’t take credit for the tree or gravestone, thank you internet. Text was done on Inkscape.

Quite the inspiration you had!

Did something happen with the engrave on the tree? It appears there’s a difference in darkness evidenced by the band in the base of the tree trunk above the roots.
What were your settings?
Looks like it is just the wood grain. A good gift (and joke BTW)

I agree, I think the bands you are seeing is the wood grain.

Sharper eyes than mine. I see it much more clearly on the desktop than on my phone. Good catch.
