so far iv made three attempts to cut out the prototype and it took really long to find a happy medium. I will say that doing test is really helpful and informative. However, the kurf bends on my lantern don’t bend really well. this could be due to how thick the wood is or that the lines that were cut are not thick enough. So far its going well. I will say that what i really want to do with this project is a Japanese/tropical theme.
