Proofgrade is much better quality than the ply they used and wouldn’t have taken much longer (maybe gluing two layers in order to get the photo pocket on the back), but for a buck I didn’t see how I could go wrong.
The only added colorant were two coats of pecan stain to both pieces. As an experiment, the top one was engraved then stained, and the bottom one was stained then engraved – didn’t seem to matter (as expected, given Proofgrade performance).
