I have just got back the sample from the laser people and the result is better than I expected. The image was converted for the laser engraving process, and as I did this quickly the actual image on the wood is a bit dark and blotchy in places. But I will spend longer sorting out the rest of the images, before they are etched.
The test piece image is about the right size but the wood will be cut down, so in total each piece will be about 15cm x 15cm. Keeping the size of the pieces small helps in keeping the price down and if for any reason one is damaged, it can be easily replaced. But I am going to get quotes on different size pieces as the wall they are going on is quite large.
The test piece is on Fijian kauri but final pieces will be on local kauri which helps link the project to the area.
When I have got some mock-up images of the wall sorted out, I shall put them here so you can get an idea of what the finished work will look like.
