I like the bubinga Mike! Hmmm... looks familiar
Nice shape for the Packwood, not too banana-ed.

While I was working in the garage the little engraver was working on my first design from scratch.
Used some left over urethane from the batch of red I did and pulled a couple of images off the Internet and tried to lay one over the other, then engrave that merged image into the urethane.
Looks like a bunch of fuzz, maybe I had my rpm too high? Peel away gently.
It's a replacement center bezel for my car gear shift knob. The original one broke off years ago and the empty spots bugged me for years as I shift.
All in all, not bad first render, but not tight enough lines per inch, and I think I need to go deeper to ensure the image sets into the material. Luckily I have a fair bit of material to play with.
Giving me a chance to learn the required nuances to engrave at high resolution of detail from photographs. And I won't break a tip (again) if my speeds too high in any one direction..hehe.
