My father got himself a laser cutting machine for Christmas. He found the plans for this kit and cut it out. I’ve spent the last couple weeks slowly assembling/gluing it together. Today, it is finished.

    Do you have ant of the assembly pictures? I’d love to see some of the pieces. Haven’t seen laser cut before for this.

    Also are you planning to paint it? Looks good as it is, btw. Also great job!

      I didn’t take as many working shots as I should have.

      If you are interested I can link to the download to the instructions which shows a lot more

      Oh, and no, I don’t think I’ll paint it. I like the raw wood with burned end look to it.

    First, that looks amazing, such a cool model.

    Second, being as it is on a cutting board I had a moment of thinking it was a cake or chocolate.

      I just verified, and it’s Birch, not balsa

        Very clean and consistent for birch. A nice batch.

          The burnt ends were a bit sticky. I’m working on cleaning some tar-y stains

      I’ve had this cutting board for who-knows how many years. It came in a set of 3 sizes.
