I have a Branches christian bookstore just down the road and am slowly getting together items to sell through them... here's my latest one. Made from a scrollsaw pattern I bought from BerryBasket. It was originally made to be huge, but I scaled it down to fit on my 4.5" wide 3/32" laser strips from Colorado Heirloom. All the shaded areas were meant to be cut out, but as you can imagine, being that small everything just fell apart when done. So I changed most of the inside vectoring to raster engraving. Not sure what to charge for this (it's about 4.25x6.25) and I'm not sure how long it took to laser, it took a few tries to get everything how I wanted. Maybe 10 minutes, slightly more.

Also, not sure if I'm going to keep it 3 layers, I might just add the 4 ovals to the frames, instead of gluing on. I'll have to just see what it looks like.

Thanks for looking.

Shaddy,

My suggestion is to put one on display as a feeler.

Looks like extensive work went into this one. Price it accordingly.

If the concept is embraced, but the price hinders sales, maybe a light version of the product will be in order.

Shaddy,

Thanks for the idea of what can be done with the off fall of the Alder!
