Thank You! I’ve taken advantage of the wait to crank out artwork for projects. 
I might burn through them too quickly at this rate.

I’ve got a lot of files ready to go, but you’re inspiring me to keep making more. I’ll probably blow through them in a couple weeks! I’ll hit the computer after I’m done custom making my new forge desk (the first one I started to second guess).

WOW the GF is so worth the wait. Check this out!
Spent some time cleaning up the artwork, below is the 5th iteration. Keep in mind the total height of this piece is only 2". The engraving is 1mm+ deep! Those narrow walls in the design are super thin and completely preserved!
PG solid maple
Settings are bone stock, except I set the engrave for two passes.

I may or may not have spent too much money on a statue of St. Michael that now lives in my basement. It’s a great way to make any visitors think I’m insane. The only issue is he’s missing his wings. I don’t think there’s any hope of recovering the original wings, so I’m trying to figure out the best option for replacements.

How big is it? How about 3D printing them?
And St. Michael is great. For some reason, the song Bad Boys will forever come into my head when I think of St. Michael now.

Thank You guys!
My dad’s going to get line work from his jewelry die maker for some of his bigger sellers and send to me so we can develop a laser engraved product line.

He’s about 5 feet tall. I don’t know if 3d printers or the glowforge can handle this job.

Sounds more like a job for carved foam and resin. That’s a big statue. Sword, shield and all? Cool.
He lost his sword, but they gave him some weird crusader flag in its place. He has the shield though. I think I need to find someone to carve some wings out of wood.

Cosplay wings.
Or maybe you can find a set of the wings that Ben Affleck or Matt Damon used as Archangels in the film “Dogma”

First thing that comes to mind is to preserve all of the detail by gently pouring epoxy all over the words and design. Also, Have you tried reversing the order and have it engrave the design part instead of the relief effect?
Finally, what is the intended use? I keep thinking as a necklace pendant, or kind of like a worry stone in someone’s pocket. With both of those applications, the thin lines here would eventually break without something to reinforce them. (brain of a woodworker, always thinking about the final use and how things hold up, sorry)

Never apologize for that!

No intended use at all other than the challenge of taking a crap photo of a photo on a computer screen and seeing if I can make something of it.
The size of the piece is simply so I don’t waste too much material or time.
My dad casts these in silver and gold to make pendants.
We’re talking about making larger versions in wood for dressing up plaques.
