It seems like I’m always using my Glowforge to make things for other people and I decided that it was finally time to make something for myself. So, I combined my favorite shape and favorite colors to make a piece to hang on my wall. This is 5 layers of 1/8” baltic birch each painted with a different color, then stacked together to create the final ensemble. The finished piece is 14” x 21” (see the starbucks gift card for scale)

Beautiful! I love how you alternated the cuts along the different pieces to make it seamless.

Thanks! Yes I did color the wood using alcohol ink that I made. It was super easy: 1/4 - 1/2 cup of 91% rubbing alcohol in a jar, then crack open a sharpie and drop the ink insert into the jar. Use a sponge paint brush to paint it on and it dries almost instantly. The great thing about it is that it still allows some of the grain to show through. (just make sure you can open a window or do it outside)

I know this is old and you may not answer, but did you pain before or after you cut? I really love the alcohol ink looks, and Id like to paint before. Love this btw 
Amazing!
Maybe this is what bees who pollinate cannabis plants see when they fly home!
