Sweet!!! You going to share the file or going to make me design my own (MSG if private)?

Did you buy the wood blanks from Amazon?

I bought the graphic from an artist on Etsy. It was like $2 or so. I make my own clock blanks. I buy a 11.5"x 24" board of poplar. I use my new planer to get it flat and a perfect 18mm. I then it it square on my jobsite table saw. They sell pine blanks at Michaels, but they are pine, and pine doesn’t laser as pretty as poplar. They are also made from multiple boards glued together, so staining can be inconsistant. The grains are raised. I attach a plaque so you can see the difference. The burn on the solid piece of poplar is much nicer. I don’t use any plywood. I want to be able to burn as deep as I want to, and sand as much as needed.

Presumably the clock goes widdershins, in keeping with the face?
