It's a Wood Book!

Made on a Glowforge

So aside from lasering, I like writing, and thought Hey, maybe I should combine the two! So I took a poem I’d written, scratched out some illustrations for it, scanned them in using the trace function, and lasered away! It’s called “Down to the Woods” and here’s a peak at a couple pages for you guys! (Disclaimer: It gets slightly dark, think Edward Gorey-esque).

I used cherry wood paper from Trotec for this.

And a general thank you to literally everyone on this forum - I’d be lost without your posts, so THANK YOU!!

Very nice project highlighting two of your talents. I had not heard of cherry wood paper, so there is another new thing to look at.

That got dark quickly!I really like how the style of the illustrations and the color of the wood help set the tone.
