Information

      I made a bank project for Valentines day.  Because I made multiple layers I had several "hearts" lying around.  When I was at the range recently I thought a couple pieces of brass might make a great addition to a heart.  This is what I came up with.

Instruction

Step1: Stain Wood and Prepare File

For my project this is a piece of scrap wood. However, you can access the shapes menu in XCS and create one to the size you want.

The brass is 9mm if you wish to use a different size you can measure your piece and create a hole the proper size.

I used Sedona Red stain and applied it before I engraved in order to give the two colors much more distinction.

Step2: Engrave and Cut

Since the engrave and the cut are done all at once it is a pretty simple process.

Once this comes off the machine simply glue in the brass pieces and give it a good coat of polyurethane.
