Darrell,

Could you explain what you're using to make the inlays as shown in the pics?

Bob S.

Yes, please do. I've considered doing an A&C/Art New-Vo Tulip ala Mackintosh detail but haven't as yet...

The laser cutting sounds very intriguing - can you give an overview of the process?

What color are you going to paint it? Looks marvelous!

That's "nouveau", Owie.

A buddy of mine in San Marcos, CA used a laser to cut his business cards. Corel Draw 4 and a computer were used and the laser "printed" the etching or cuts depending upon his needs. Pretty cool. Darrell's buddy looks to have a newer model.

Only if'n yer a Frenchie there Jaques. Ya ain't a Frenchie are ya, Lair-E?

Is it a big deal to cut the corresponding inlay? (If that's the direction one wanted to go, of course.) I mean, what's involved in sizing the inlay for the cutting once you have the outlay(?) Corel-ed up? Was the price reasonable or kinda a sticking point for personal projects (i.e. don't drive no fancy truck, don't live in no McMansion, don't do an annual vacation ­ 'cept to the Astoria KOA every year)?

I'm a proud Heinz 57, tendjewberrymosh.

It was a kilobuck per watt back then and I think he got a 30w light saber. He didn't do inlay, just laser carvings and thin paper-backed-wood cutting for his cards. You'd probably have to do a cutout on the inlay and a cut-in on the background, varying the line width in Corel to get a precise cut for each species.

KOA, eh? Like, McDolences, dude. Whatever you do, _don't_ talk to Barry Meyers this week.
