Thank you

I also did some like this about 3 years ago in Maine. Used Gold over black Romark. They look like the day they were put on. Plastic should work and as you said, you can do custom sizes.

Hello everyone,
I am trying to cut and engrave the attached file out of 1/4" wood. Wording engraved, all else cut. The outside edge is a used edge, so no cutting. I had to draw each line separate to...
This stuff looks pretty cool....for those who have used them. Which species tends to laser the best? I may print to try something new, but overall would like to engrave business cards, and such....
