Laser-Cut Wooden Keepsake Box with Personalized Engraving
Instruction
Information
This project is a small laser-cut keepsake box made from dark walnut-style plywood. The box is designed with finger-joint edges and a fitted lid, and the top is engraved with a name and date for a personal touch. I made it as a way to combine clean laser-cut construction with a warm, natural wood finish to create a meaningful storage piece for small memories or gifts.
Instruction
Step1
Use the attached SVG template to create this laser-cut box.

You can add a name, date, or small design inside the blue engraving sections before sending the file to your laser.
