Follow these instructions to create a charming wooden Easter egg cup. We used alder wood for making the egg cup, but it will also work with conventional plywood or poplar plywood for laser cutting.
Preparation
Required material:
3 mm alder wood or poplar plywood
1 Easter egg
Used Trotec Laser:
Speedy 300
60 watts
1.5 inch lens
Tips:
Use a cutting table to prevent beam reflections on the back of the material.
