Step 2: Laser process
Set the laser parameters like indicated below. Keep in mind that these parameters are set up for a speedy 360 80W, if using another machine you may have to adapt them. Put the wood into your Trotec laser, engrave and cut the different pieces. For a more exotic look, we decided to use two different types of veneers.

Info:
- Wood is a natural product. Its characteristics can vary. We recommend to test the parameters before you produce the work piece.
Step 3: Cleaning and assembly
Clean the cut pieces with a damp cloth. All you need for the assembly are the wooden parts and a little bit of dexterity. The individual pieces are put together one by one resulting in a finished wine box.
The video shows you how to assembly the box.
Inspirations
- The box is perfectly suitable for an individualized gift. You can produce the box in advance and add your customers' engraving afterwards.
- The wide range of Trotec wood offers you a variety of creative possibilities.
