That's really neat! The laser sure opens up opportunities for ornamentation.
Thank you Steven, very true, especially when I'm not as good a turner as some of you guys.
Nice bowl. Did the bowl need a final sanding/finish after you placed the ivory?
Thanks Jeff, that was actually the most difficult part of this project. The engraving had to be as close as I could get to the thickness of the ivory so I wouldn't have to sand it afterward. The ivory I had was less than 1 mm thick and I used OSMO for the finish.
