Went with proof grade and some stain, then lasered over the stain to pull out the gold.
Really like the way it turned out. Took a little scrap of satin and some foam to fill it.

You did a stellar job on that! The satin lining is such a nice added touch as well.

I love the look of the dark stain and then the laser. I did a couple of things like that early on–this post reminds me that I need to do it again. Good work!

Thanks, I was super happy how it turned out almost golden with the lighter woodgrain coming up through the stain. It’s a really stunning look.
That looks sharp! Nice that you took it a step farther to dress the inside.
VERY Nice!! Care to share the logo and box svg? 
Nice, Did you make any other gifts? I have been looking for ideas I can make for one of our Eagles for his COH.
I am thinking of finding a knife I like and doing the wood handle, but am open to other ideas.
It is against forum rules to ask for files.
