re: Leaf Box

Thanks all for the nice comments. Pottz, I think the lasered name looks great on your box with a single piece of wood. It would probably be too distracting if you had the leaf pattern.

Splinter, that’s the exact technique I have used before for cutting boards and it works great for insets that are the same size as the router bit. But the radius’s (radii?) will be slightly different if the inset piece isn’t the same width, and in my experience there were tiny gaps when I tried it that way. I don’t know, maybe you have stronger clamps than mine?😄

Duckster…okay I lied, I didn’t really use Bézier curves, I just tried drawing straight lines after a couple of rounds of my favorite Irish whiskey, and this is what came out.
