Oh this is a beautiful design to me! Great job.
Seconded, I like the flat too…
I’m with the others on the flat top.
Sounds like flat is the winner. Good, that saves me some redesign time!
That’s beautiful!
S your design part is different than your structure you could do that on all five faces .
Flat, looks more ‘finished’. Stunning piece … how long was the cut time?
This is gorgeous!! I love it!
I like the one on the right best (the flat one).
The basswood panels took a little over an hour. The frame was pretty quick.
Ruth, this is beautiful! Love the delicate look, and basswood makes it even more striking! I also like the flat top best.
This is what I guess is a modernized version as it takes glue, and there are so many opportunities to use a laser instead, but wondering how they would do a self supporting design with no glue.
The 2nd one (flat top). Looks finished that way.
Definitely flat! (but you knew that already…)
I was going to suggest the same! I have similar candles at home and they come with a remote control. I love this lantern you created!
I found an interesting App for making your own designs for this though curves are too easy to add and so i went there.

The App works better
I could see several of these lining a driveway at night with a battery operated tea light to “light the way.” These are just beautiful!!
Had to download that straight away - thanks!
I was geeking out on Kumiko work online just yesterday… trying to figure out how to replicate it. Well done!
