Wall crosses

2 of my close friends just moved into new houses, so I wanted to make them a house warming gift. I also wanted to try out this new 3mm BB plywood in our laser engraver, so this seemed to be a perfect combination. The tops are engraved and cut on my laser, then I used a compass to trace an offset on the cross onto this piece of Walnut and cut it out on the bandsaw.After I realized how much that sucked to do (I was kind of on a time crunch), I came up with the thought of just an elipse. Once I finished cutting out the elipse, I thought it looked a little disproportionate, so I added the random routes along the border.For hanging purposes, I used a keyhole bit to route the slot in the back, then stamped it with the branding iron and sprayed a few coats of poly to add the shine.The last few pictures are of some shirts I printed today after school. My family and I are headed south for the week to take my 2 daughters (7 & 5 yes old) to Disney. Not only is it their first trip to Disney, its my wife and I's first time on a plane together. We're also going with my two parents, would hopefully all goes well. Wish me luck!Thanks for checking in, as always comments and feedback appreciated!
