My first piece of art created on the GF

Made on a Glowforge
1

I’ve made laser-cut art in the past, but this is the first piece done completely on a GF.

After 100 hours of design (which was previously done before I got the GF)…
After 26 hours of cutting 47 individual 12x20 pieces of Baltic birch…
After 20 hours of staining individual pieces…
After 15 hours of gluing…

I give you the following piece of art:

This is amazing. Some of those look like real buildings/structures - any chance they all are? Beautiful piece either way :star_struck:

Uh, how much?! That is utterly amazing! I had NO idea it was as big as it is until you put yourself in the background. I was thinking it was much smaller. I was blown away at the detail too. You’re a very talented artist. I’m going to jump out on a limb here and say that it’s probably too much for my blood but I’m still curious as to what you’d part with it for.

Still reeling! :exploding_head:

This. is. simply. marvelous ! And, I’m guessing that there are no two buildings alike. I really love the little pockets with some trees. Amazing piece of work. Thank you so much for showing us!
