Here is a new pattern that Ash etched on wood for me with his laser. It is on a peice of basswood 1 1/2X16X21. The pattern is from Lora Irish's book Landscapes in Relief. Feels like a real challenging project. The lighter areas you see are the areas I have started to remove wood. The upper background is already recessed 1inch. Now I am working on the windows that show clear through to the horizon and other areas that are the same depth. I am also working at another project that I will post on another thread. This way I can switch off and on to the different ones.

Tell us more about transfering the pattern with a laser. I'm still using carbon paper! Are there size limits?

Ron ,

Glad you sarted with the easy one. rofl

Pallin , perhaps i can answer you question, ther are some size limts but it is really more of work around, the only one that is a bit restrictive is the 11 inch thickness, outside of the if you really wanted to , you could do a pattern the size of a football field . if you want no joints 3 ft by 2 ft I am right now doing a layout 8 foot x 10 ft for a church wall in marble.

Ron.s patterns are inversed as I raise the lines of the pattern like braille , for someone with eyesight the can be placed for a v tool with a groove line. Just a matter of deciding which way they work better .
