    or maybe since wood worked so well how about layers of different colored wood veneers.
    I do have a bunch of veneers laying around............

    The metal would be very interesting, but you would need a different kind of laser with some where in the area of 300W or more. $XXX,XXX.OO , not in the budget this year.
    But the wood veneers might just work. Only concern would be the effect of the heat on the glue, possible separation problem.
    Now I have something else to put on my to do list.

    Thanks
