Layered Wood Wall Art Featuring a Horse in a Mountain Landscape - 4 Layers Wall Art

• 4× plywood or MDF sheets (recommended: 3–4 mm thickness each)
   
• Wood glue or CA glue
   
• Paints, stains, or spray paint (optional)
   
• Sandpaper (fine grit, optional)

• Import the design into your laser software (LightBurn, xTool Creative Space, etc.).
   
• Each layer is provided separately or grouped by color.
   
• Adjust your power/speed settings based on your material.
   
• Cut each layer individually.

💡 Tip: Run a small test cut first to ensure clean edges and proper cut-through.

You can paint before or after cutting, depending on your workflow:

Option A – Paint Before Cutting (cleaner finish)

• Apply paint or primer to the full sheet.
   
• Let it dry completely.
   
• Then proceed with cutting.

Option B – Paint After Cutting (more precision)

• Cut all layers first.
   
• Lightly sand edges if needed.
   
• Paint each layer individually.

💡 Tip: Apply thin coats to avoid swelling or warping the material.

• Arrange all 4 layers in order (back → front).
   
• Apply a small amount of glue to the back of each layer.
   
• Carefully align and stack them.
   
• Press gently and allow to dry.

💡 Tip: Work from the back layer forward for easier alignment.

• Apply a clear coat for protection (optional).
   
• Add a hanger, frame, or double-sided tape for mounting.

• For a premium layered effect, use contrast: darker colors in the back, lighter tones toward the front.
   
• If you want extra depth, add thin spacers (1–3 mm) between layers to create a shadow box look.
   
• For ultra-clean results, consider sealing or priming the wood before painting.
   
• A light sanding or quick wipe after cutting helps remove soot and improves paint adhesion.
