Having access to such a variety of machines and tools means that there are endless projects and techniques that we can try! Some of those new techniques definitely come with a learning curve that requires time, patience and a little trial and error to get perfected. Being able to laser a photo of your choosing on a wooden project takes customized gifts to a whole new level! This has definitely been a work in progress but I’m thrilled with the latest results!

Below is a couple images of the same engraving but with different orientations of the wood grain. The vertical grain on this wood was a much better engraving than the horizontal grain.
