This is another post of a small batch of items that was made for sale at my store before it closed. I was hoping to create a line of planchettes that I could cut out completely on the laser cutter, and that would require less hand finishing than the solid wooden planchettes that I had previously made. Unfortunately, they still required more hand finishing than I had hoped, and I was unhappy with the quality of the final product. I only made one batch of them, and while they did sell, I considered this a failed product experiment.

These were cut from multiple layers of 3mm plywood, instead of solid wood like my previous planchettes. The intention was to create stock design parts (uppers and lowers) that could be mixed and matched. Between sanding painting and gluing the layers together, there was no significant labor savings, and IMO the product was inferior to the solid wood planchettes or the solid wood with laser engraving planchettes.
