A Navy friend is also a Luthier http://jwbosworthguitars.com/

He asked me to place his logo in a piece of Blood wood that will be glued to the headstock of a Tenor Ukulele. I first thought of using the CarveWright.... Then my Rotary Engraver... Then after talking to him about the edge quality I decided to dust off the Laser Engraver. This time I Lasered it... But this is not the end of this project using the CW.... I am determined to make this with the CW in the future....

Want to look into cutting Mother of Pearl but I see the dust is a hazard.

This Laser only has 20 Watts so I used 100% power and 25% speed and ran the raster burn 4 times to make it deeper. My 30 watt runs on Windows 95.... Need to fire that up some day....

Needless to say I had FUN today.... Making smoke not chips... I think he is going to gold leaf the logo and the name will be black. Made some extra pieces to test with.
