Thin maple veneer and engrave/score

Howdy folks,

So I am dropping off a cutting board for someone tomorrow, and I wanted to give some tags with it.

I got from Lee Valley their thin maple veneer business cards some time back, and have used them to little success, TILL NOW!

Used the proof grade settings as a base, and then tinkered. I also didn’t want to wait for the long engrave time on the HD engrave so dropped it to 225 lines. Either way, they look great.

This is awesome!! I have a whole drawer of Menards Pizza Boards which I need to figure out what to do with them. This would be a classy way of including instructions on how to care for something and be a business card (for future business hopefully) for them to hold on to at the same time. Thanks for sharing! This weekend I am getting ready to finally play with veneer and was wondering about what to do with it…thanks!!
