First time glowforge owner/user. I just got mine 4 days ago. I recently quit my job in IM/IT to start a home business. I wanted to do something that would bring me joy and I’m not looking back! Here is a map of my home town engraved on maple hardwood.
Thanks for the link! I definitely want to attempt layered mapping next. I like the look of combining the engraved and cut layers.
My original thought was to use a drawing tablet to outline the major roads and bridges, maybe with the inverse of what I did with this map so that the roads are elevated, but I’m open to other suggestions. I know I’m not reinventing the wheel so I am happy to take suggestions!
That’s an awesome project and welcome to the Community! I’m actually looking to make maps as well as I had a friend recently ask me for one. Does anyone know where to source maps that will translate well to cutting or engraving? Specifically looking for St. Louis, Mo.
