I wanted a special tag to accompany the gift to my wife on our 1st Christmas as newlyweds. So I took a wack at creating one out of cherry veneer. It turned out well, but I did learn that there is such a thing as a font that’s too thin, even for a laser.
My wife loved it! Laser to the rescue.
It’s lovely! Nice coloring.
Would you believe that the coloring is the green painter’s tape that I used to mask the veneer? LOL As I was taking it off I noticed that it looked great. So I left certain bits.
Sometimes you can get some thin parts of fonts to work by both engraving them as well as scoring them. If you’ve got them as paths instead of a raster image.
You can also use colored pencils to do color fill & then a light coat of clear to protect.
Good idea. They were vectors. I should have tried scoring. I’d have to be careful though. I tried engraving twice and it poked through the veneer in places.
Very nice. Happy first Christmas to you both
Oh yeah, that would probably happen with the default settings on top of engraving.
So pretty!!!
Is it the stocking? Cool! Those wouldn’t be knuckledragger boards, are they? 
LOL!
2-piece paddle.
Ha ha, yes, we’re avid kayakers.
We love it too, but we’re tame lake kayakers.
Her too, lake and flat river. For me, I enjoy Whitewater and bike/kayak adventures.
Very Very Nice…!
