Anyone have a good Adirondak chair image/source they can share. Looking to engrave it on a piece of slate as a gift. What I found so far has lines and details that are too fine and don't reproduce well. Thanks.

Sean -
I never knew what those chairs were called; now, I do. Don't see where you're having a problem; I simply Google-searched "Adirondak chair"; > images > under tools went to line-drawings. You're gonna use your mini 40 w to etch into slate? - I, too, have a 40W - I do plenty of graphics 'n photos on solid back granite with great success, but never on slate. - would like to know (see) how it turns out for you. - good luck!

I did use Google to find those. The problem is that the thin lines do not produce well on the slate I am using. The fine lines do not show up well. Was looking for something more "stencil" like without looking cartoonish. I will keep trying some until i find something that works. If I get it to work I will post some pics. Thanks.

Since you already have a graphic, thicken up the lines yourself. This will be a good learning experience for many, many projects to come.

Didn't know that was an option. Off to Google to find a Corel tutorial. Thanks for the info!

Select your image in CD, it is probably a bitmap, on your menu bar select trace and play with that for a while. I like Alex Galvez on youtube for Corel tutorials.

Thank you for the info. It will save me a lot of trial and error.

Try Pixabay.com most of the time they have free pic and artwork. They also have sponsored images that are not free. I'm cheap so I steer clear of those.
