I am a newbie that just started my laser engraving business and I have silently been reading the posts. Thanks to all of you that have contributed with so much valuable information and ideas. I felt that it was time for me to contribute and show my first mirror.

I have an Epilog Legend 36EXT 75W
Photograv 3.0
Cherry Wood setting
200 dpi

Thank You, Sheryl Haley

Welcome to the Creek, we hope to see more of your stuff as you progress. Everyone is always interested to see what others have done so congratulations on a truly remarkable first mirror. The lines around the edges are extremely clean and it shows, fantastic result!

Really nice Sheryl. Did you paint the back black side after you lasered it?

Yes Al,
I painted the back side with High Gloss Black paint. I have tried the Matte Black but I prefer the gloss because it makes the image stand out better.
I also scanned in my image at 1200 dpi before I processed it through Photograv and lowerd the dpi to 200.

Thanks to everyone, Sheryl Haley

I silently read the posts too. Some of these guys might read them out loud but I quit doing that. Just kidding. Great job, My first mirror is in a landfill someplace. Great job.
