Very cool to see another, made this many years ago out of red oak and is still used regularly. Design was copied from an old timer submarine mech at Pearl Harbor.

So, with the ornaments, did they have the holly leaf details on the back side as well? Wonder if you had kept the name area solid if that would strengthen the piece and allow the name to be burned on each side versus cut through, allowing the name to be easily read from both sides.

I liked the lanterns. Did you consider doing one as a combination lantern / shadow box? Such as having the tree silhouette on one side casting light out, and the piece the silhouette was cut from on the opposite side being the shadow box side.... you follow?

Those puzzles would be great gifts to anger in-laws....

I intend to paint the ornaments but I like your version of it as well. It wouldn't take much to to modify the pattern in Lightburn and change it from a cutout to a solid lower section. Alignment could be an issue if you aren't using absolute coordinates on the laser but that's the only way I engrave anyway so it shouldn't be a problem. I like the shadowbox idea as well and that would give it a completely different look. I may have to put some of your ideas to use. Thanks for the suggestions Mark.

The puzzles would anger anyone. This thing is ridiculously difficult. LOL.
