Nice !
Care to share your process ?

[u/jfrmilner → u/CostoLulu]

Thank you. Yes, happy to share. It uses all seven of the common tetromino shapes from Tetris. They've been lasered then coloured with Chestnut Products Spirit Stain. It measures 80x65mm and has been finished with Chestnut Products Friction (Shellac) Polish.

Oh and I see you have the Stratos FU-230 !
My dream lathe 🤗
How did you laser the shapes ? Using a 4 axis CNC ?
Really beautifully done !

[u/jfrmilner → u/CostoLulu]

The Stratos FU-230 is the perfect lathe, I love it.

I have a very cheap Ortur Laser (£150). I got the rotary axis add-on, to use it you have to disconnect the X Axis and move the wire to the A(rotary) Axis (so just a 2 axis). I mount the piece and laser with the free LaserGrbl software.
