The front is two layers…do you think the swirlies are inlays, or embossing? And that curved top – you’d have to do it with veneer, maybe. I can’t tell what the bottom of it looks like.

Definitely inlays as you ca see the base material at the outer edge.You could make it marquetry on a darker wood or even MDF though I would not want MDF in much of anything. If you made the base material of the curve basswood or even oak you could get it wet and bend it . I might even do the holes with a drill press after it is bent as they would cause a lot of weakness otherwise, making an even bend difficult…
The whole thing is dropped into an engraved hole in a big flat stand that looks too big for the job and probably some holes for the wand points to rest in. I would want to make the base much smaller

Ditto, especially without some sort of guide for getting from point A to B. What might be a well-known process for some is a totally new concept for others.

Did this template only show up for some people? I’m not able to find any announcement or photos of the finished project, other than the SVG linked to by OP. Where was this content dropped? Thanks!

When there is a red dot on the little gift icon in the Design Library, there is a freebie waiting for you there. Just click it, then right click the design and Save As an SVG.

Oh, I see. Did I miss it then, and are we not able to download past freebies? The only one I see is a coffee sleeve.

Must be…I just tried to click it again and I saw the coffee sleeve too. (That one might have been a limited time Easter Egg.)

They’re all limited time according to the instructions - they say we’re supposed to download them quickly before they go away. I expect they’re something like a “design of the month” type of promotion

Well, that’s ok since the file was posted here. I’d just like to see what the finished product looked like. Did anyone save the preview images?
My mistake. I didn’t realize this photo wasn’t an actual HP product! Thanks, Jules.

They did do a good job on them, didn’t they? 
Great feedback, both about the video being misleading, and about wanting the wand holder! I’ll be sure the team sees.

The wand holder might be a great catalog entry. Of course, it might be a great idea to promote the catalog also: give the wand design and point to the holder in the catalog.
I’m sure someone will not like that approach… but I’ve never seen anything that made everyone happy.

Chuckle! I don’t know…any woman who has had to plan her party menus around mixed cultures’ dietary preferences knows that doesn’t always hold up.

I think this is a great model. Obviously we prefer things for free, but this seems fair and reasonable and perfectly matched to the current marketing philosophy of giving something for free in order to garner a sale for something else.
