Looks very nice but i suppose most any shape or form can be done with a laser, i can't get enthusiastic about using a laser much prefer using a scroll saw, getting the pleasure of a good finish and just feeling the wood and overcoming difficult areas, well done you if that's what floats your boat, nice bit of work.

I have to agree with tersan , not much skill involved in setting up a laser, still, each to their own, live and let live

A couple of weeks back we had a young lady turn up for her very first craft fair. Her parents had bught her a laser machine and she had made quite a variety of things including coasters, small crosses and hearts and small animals. In the coasters and several other items there were internal cut outs and the edges and outside edges were black. Everything was made from what appeared to be 3mm baltic ply but she hardly sold a thing. Looking on e-bay you can buy large quantities of laser cut novelty items for basically pennies but I fail to see where there would be a market for thise things.

Hi John. The cat key racks had their first outing on Tuesday, sold one then and another two yesterday. I knew they would be a good seller.

Thought this was a Wood Scrolling forum, laser cutting is just like the mass produced stuff on Ebay

Story about this work.
Two weeks ago, on Saturday, I was awakened by the phone. The priest needs the cross for the pilgrimage. It was too thick to cut down on scroll saw. He had to call on Monday, but he never called back. It took me two days to prepare this project, eight hours for cutting prototypes and fixes. To do this one cube.
Full cross should looks like that. Its is ridiculous...

I was inspired by this work
