I have some friends starting a new Yoga studio and thought we should make them a grand opening gift.
This mandala is 18" in diameter and 9 layers of 1/8" thick material deep. I have included a photo of the back showing the keyhole slot for hanging along with my method of making this piece larger than the Glowforge can cut in one go. I have 2 pieces roughly 9" x 18" that align with the puzzle joints. I use the small .125" diameter holes for dowels to align the various layers.
I used Proofgrade blue Acrylic to provide the color accent.

Gorgeous! I love the integration of acrylic with wood.
Gorgeous is right! I’ve been wanting to design something like that for the mantelpiece, and wondered how many layers I could get away with…nine looks excellent with the 1/8 material.
Does it weigh a lot?

Wow! Outstanding!
I pretty much love everything about this. 
It’s a really professional looking design and your execution is outstanding! I’ve not done much combining of wood and acrylic but this example inspires me.

I am sure it will be hung in a prominent spot in the studio.
Simply beautiful!
