Hmm what’s up with the light color? Paint? Masking pre weed?

Those are just beautiful. Too bad you can’t just leave the masking on. I love the looks of it. I have tried before and it’s worked but not for something like this.

It could be selectively weeded and painted. Very nice engraving!

Mask whole stock.
Make a jig in the Glowforge to exactly position the stock.
Cut the outline of the engraved area as a vector on very low power.
Remove the masking from the engrave area.
Paint entire engrave area white. Let it dry.
Re-mask. Put the stock back in the jig.
Engrave as usual.
Weed the engrave to expose the white paint.
Profit?

Cool idea. I thought about doing something like this or spraying inverted with masking on but not sure how long paint would last on it. Guess I won’t know until I try.
