Laser Engraving
« on: June 22, 2009, 11:48:00 AM »
Has anybody tried laser engraving on the glass laminate, or tried laser engraving on the veneer under the glass before gluing up?  Just curiour.

I'm thinking about it.  I got some friends that work in the graphics and sign shop on campus.  They've got a really nice system that costs in the neighborhood of $30,000 dollars.  I can probably get something done, as long as I don't wear out my welcome.

I saw some here in San Antonio, at the Tandys leather shop, the laser work was done on leather, I would love to try it under the glass on the veneer of a bow. It does give you some ideas.

I know Robertson used to offer lams that were laser etched with a snakeskin pattern.  I seem to remember another bowyer doing the same, but can't for the life of me remember who.
Bodork (and others) laser etched a picture in some lams before glueup too.

I thought of the snake skin thing too. That would be cool.
