Mini Acoustic Guitar Christmas Ornament :D

Made on a Glowforge
1

So my initial thought was, "I’ll just shrink down my other guitar design and make a cool tree ornament quickly!

Seems that wasn’t the case, as the original guitar file was like 6 layers, and that simply won’t shrink down to a 4" design! So I figured if I could get the 6 layers down to 2 for the guitar, plus one extra layer for the frame, it would be possible…

Half a day later I think I found the sweet spot between simplicity and a realistic looking guitar, and am really happy with how cute it is.

Its 4 inches tall and 2 1/2 inches wide.

Get it here if you’re interested, it is a very quick and easy build, since the etching creates the dark area’s that typically would need stained. These glue together in like 2 minutes.

Those are lovely! I especially like the transition between engraved and counter-engraved on the strings :slight_smile:

I agree, I think you hit “the sweet spot” between realism and simplicity. This would look great on the tree. Nice work.
