I am really happy with how it turned out. I ended up staining the bottom 3 layers and then I finished all of the layers with a couple of coats of Polyurethane. I then assembled it using wood glue and inserted the clock mechanism.

Finished my layers project! I painted each of the layers red and once they dried, I used wood glue to attach the pieces using the vectors engraves on them. My design is a terrain map of the largest volcano in the Solar System, Olympus Mons. It’s located on Mars (hence the red paint), and I…

The concept for this piece was Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy. This is specific frame though was based on Groots short movie. I wanted to give the piece a 3-dimensional look through both his face and his hands. I think this aspect was able to be shown. Another aspect I wanted to work with…

Hi everyone! Here is my finished layers project: My design concept was to create a wall decor piece that illustrates a cartoonish dinosaur theme, and I think I did a good job executing the idea! As pictured, it now lives on the wall in my apartment. This was my first big piece that I used…

Here’s my final layers project! It ended up being a very small and simple project but with emphasis on fit, as the pieces are not just simply glued onto the layered base but fitted with slits and then glued for stability. While simple I really like how it looks, just a simple diorama, nothing crazy….

This is my finished lantern project! I revisited the parts in solid works, specifically the side pieces for the rounded dome of the mushroom, to make them fit properly. It isn’t perfect but significantly better than my last iteration. The “stem” is just a series of circles cut from wood in decreasing size. I ended…

Here is my finished layers project. For a recap I laser cut a piranha plant from Mario and stacked the pieces on top of each other to give depth. I kept running into issues of when I would cut some pieces they would fall through the grate of the laser cutter. Additionally it was a…

For my layers project I did a raccoon. I made the layers out of cardboard and glued them together with gorilla glue. I used acrylic paint to paint this because it dries really fast and I like using acrylic paint. I was really happy with how this came out because when I was cutting the…

This is my completed layers project, I ended up making two versions of the sculpture. The first version is the bigger one on the left it has 9 layers, I used sharpie to color every other layer to give it the intended visual effect. The middle layer is white as I had accidentally colored it…
