Since last time, I have attempted cutting out the koi pieces for my piece. I used the pink cardstock underneath the veneer layer and used the magnets to hold the veneer and paper down. Unfortunately, I still had pieces fly away and disappear in the laser cutter. I am going to look into getting masking tape to put on the veneer so that I can hopefully prevent the small pieces from breaking and flying away. I tried to use basic glue to stick scrap veneer to cardstock and found out that it warps the veneer and leaves cardstock on the back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something I expected but was curious about how others see it, is the negative space in the details on the fish. I sorta like that there is space and feel like I could use it to my advantage by putting a color underneath. I am excited to use acrylic to give the piece more depth and hope that everything starts going smoother with my cuts! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a good look at how the pieces fit together, but in the final design the details will be in a different wood!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a great example of what can go wrong when pieces move around while cutting!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to show how many scraps are getting produced while I figure out how to keep the pieces from flying around. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This last picture are the wood veneers that I picked out for the piece! I’m still trying to figure out if clear acrylic would go better or a blue acrylic, but I’m worried about introducing a color to the piece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
