Gradient Engraving Basketweave Pattern

Took the time to do @marmil’s weave in Proofgrade walnut ply.

This first is 100% power, max speed and 450 lpi.

The second is max power, speed and 340 lpi. The darker walnut would require some tweaking of the design for contrast.

I can imagine the second tiling to make a nice picture frame pattern.

I like the optical illusion of bent ropes you get from the grain

Yes. That’s it! I was wondering why the second image was more pleasing to me. The cross hatch adds a different dimension.

These are looking good. I think they would benefit from a score along the edge of each strand.
