Sketchbook drawing

Digital scan

The digital file was then laser etched in a piece of wood.  I don't have photos of the process, but this particular board was made out of a single 2x4.  I cut the board to size, ran it through a joiner, a planer, and then glued and clamped it until it became a solid board.
