A Little Plagiarism 🫨
I wanted to try this Abalone sheet. I hope to find other uses for it. All the women that saw these earrings seemed very interested. I bet these would draw a crowd at craft shows. If you have a laser, very easy and inexpensive to make.

I have the same sheet (paua) and would really like to know how the lasing went. Power/speed, how you secured them, details buddy!
These have the colors and light weight.

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".
 Bruce, I used my 30w, so these settings might not help you.Â
The voids were etched in cherry @ 5000 sp-30 pwr, and 450 sp-55 pwr to cut the paua. It leaves ash around the perimeter of the paua. The pieces are so small it was difficult to remove. I found rubbing the paua pieces on a plywood table top was enough to remove most of it, the rest I scratched off with my fingernail.Â
I used medium CA to adhere the paua. I’ll run a couple on the 10w setting and let you know what the settings are.Â

Bruce, I ran the paua with my 10w setting. Had to run at 275 sp and 85 pwr to cut through, so that should get you in the ball park.Â

Thanks John!
I'm really looking forward to pimping out stuff with the paua
