These started out as normal epoxy pours with some small chunks of wood tossed in them. Here they are out of the mold:<\/p>\n

I wish I would have put more of the white pigment into the pour. It looked good at this thickness, but after I thinned them down they lost a lot of the opaqueness, and looked a bit more transparent than I was originally shooting for.<\/p>\n
I clamped one side down, machined it flat with my CNC machine and flipped it over. I then used the \u201cblue tape and CA glue\u201d technique to attach it to my work table so I could bring it down to final card thickness:<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t take any photos of the engraving process, but I just did a quick design in Illustrator and exported it to Fusion 360. I then used an engraving bit to do the etching. A quick coat of black spray paint to fill it in:<\/p>\n

Then I sanded that off, did some rough polishing, and was left with a pretty nice little card! Here\u2019s a shot before I put some finishing oil on:<\/p>\n
