Thx @dklgood i hope it will also
Thank you for the kind words and for the link @bansai8creations i will check that out in the future i have it bookmarked. The stuff i got was actually white birch here is the link https://www.rona.ca/en/veneer-sheet-birch-pre-glued-12-x-96-07287085 Its really nice stuff comes in a roll and is super flexible in one direction depending on the wood grain.
For the all wood card i offset the layers 90° so they would be stiff otherwise you can wrap this veneer around a pencil. I did not try and etch the flesh side because i wasn’t sure i could get the detail in the qr code it was already having some trouble getting the code to read on the wood and it was a pretty smooth surface.
I wasn’t really trying to sell those guys business cards unless they want them i guess but my main interest was the guy in the back who is working on saddles and stuff like that every day. he was curious about developing patterns to help him out with cutting some of the more frustrating things.
I also cut out the free Mandala - #64 by primal_healer pattern in leather as well, im willing to bet he will get a kick out of that. A card holder would be really cool made out of leather, i have tons of smaller pieces from the tack shops scrap bin, they let me go in there and pick out a full grocery bag if i want of all the better scraps for 12$.
