using logic trace I will show tracing a guitar profile and creating a *.dxf
for the CO2 laser to engrave, also will be using live edge wih a beautiful grain
pattern (bird's eye spalded maple)

The guitar looks great Stan. I bet it would look fantastic laser cut from black plastic, much like the metal art projects you see on the Net lately.

it would Keith but since covid I find plastics and acrylic has doubled in price and is a real turn off
attached are a few I have done
But I also do these with cnc and that looks good deeper

They look nice alright!
I have not ordered plastic material in awhile other than engravers plastic that I used for my Christmas ornaments and it was very high priced.
I keep a pretty good selection of large sheets of plastic, PVC and solid surface sheets in my inventory, haven't had to place an order for a long time.
