 I am bringing beautiful typography to the cake topper industry. Still experimenting with materials, but found that .125" Baltic Birch ply provides stability. Now what color to paint it?

 I cut coasters from a Madrone Tree branch for my material. Repeating the tree around a centered orientation created a nice mandala. I made sure the laser would burn out the negative space so more detail could be achieved in the releif.
