Organizing the craft fair junk while stuff on the bigger projects cures, got a lot of variations of these little boxes made of two plys of 1/8" wood stock around.

As designs get more ornate and less strictly mechanical/functional I'm very slowly weaning off just drawing the whole thing layout and engravings and all in QCad. Should help make things less stiff and geometric. And do you have any idea how long it takes to do knotwork or, like, a tree in CAD, with a mouse?


Based this design off an antique tibetan tiger rug as an experiment in laser-cut marquetry (didn't work, made for extremely short cross-grain strips that disintegrated too easily to be worth the hassle) and then for a set of ornate cutting boards after a shop requested them (didn't work, nobody but the owner wanted them), if you can find a use for it it's all yours
