Start out by typing “MOM”
Next add a slim rectangle and center it horizontally in the “MOM” text.
Select both objects and click “subtract” on the right side panel.
Add a really thing long rectangle and overlap it at the end of where mom ends where the blank gap starts.
Copy and paste the rectangle and align it the way on the bottom part of mom.
Select all objects and click “unite” on right side panel.
Change you object object to “engrave”
Now you can add your center text.
I chose the daughters of this mom with a heart but you can pretty much creative here and insert wahtever you wish.

Step2: Laser Prep

Once you get your design how you like it its time to put your material into the laser.
You can place you design anywhere on the board.
I chose to place mine in the lower right hand corner so this can be used as a cutting board.
Once you have you object where you like it, use the framing feature in the upper right corner to make sure its aligned you were want it placed on your material.
Once you're satisfied you can send it to your laser!

Finally, take some food grade mineral oil and work it into the cutting board with a soft cloth or paper towel. You will want to apply a healthy amount.
Let it sit for a 2-3 hours.
After time has passed wipe away the excess with a towel.
