My father got himself a laser cutting machine for Christmas. He found the plans for this kit and cut it out. I've spent the last couple weeks slowly assembling/gluing it together. Today, it is finished.

First, that looks amazing, such a cool model.

Second, being as it is on a cutting board I had a moment of thinking it was a cake or chocolate.

Lol!. I had to trim a few pieces, hence the cutting board.

Gorgeous craftsmanship. Is that fir?

Also, totally have that same cutting board.

I just verified, and it's Birch, not balsa

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Very clean and consistent for birch. A nice batch.

The burnt ends were a bit sticky. I'm working on cleaning some tar-y stains

I've had this cutting board for who-knows how many years. It came in a set of 3 sizes.
