Wine box from wood

Use the following step-by-step instructions to make your own personalized wine box out of Trotec veneered wood.

Preparation

Material required

1 sheet of Trotec veneer walnut, 3 mm (available at Trotec)
1 sheet of Trotec veneer birch, 3 mm (available at Trotec)
Jute yarn (used for the handle)
Covering material

Machine used

Aluminum cutting grid table
Speedy 360, 80 Watts with 2.0" lens

Step 2: Laser process

Set the parameters to the specifications listed below. Variances in the laser parameters may depend on the type of laser machine as well as available laser power. Place the material into your Trotec working area, cut and engrave the different pieces. Consider pairing multiple types of wood to create a unique look as we did with our wine box.

Laser Parameters:

Color	Process	Power (%)	Speed (%)	ppi/Hz
black	engraving CO₂	80	50	500
red	cutting CO₂	100	1,0	1000

Passes	Air Assist	Z-Offset	Advanced
1	on	+6 mm	High quality
1	on	-	-

Info:

Being that wood is a natural product, characteristics may vary. Be sure to test the laser parameters before you begin processing.

Step 3

Step 3: Cleaning and assembly

Using a damp cloth, clean the cut materials. To assemble, take the wooden parts and use a little bit of dexterity to place each piece together one by one, resulting in your completed wine box.
