- Although personally I hate all this and if I was going to have a wood dash, I'd not bother with the veneer - the underlying woodwork was amazing enoughdetritus

Looking for skins for my laptop and I found this new offering from https://dbrand.com
It's called "Black Dragon"
Seemingly it's a "grippy" surface not like some of their (and others) other skins.
Thought I'd post it here as it looks like charred wood.
Pretty cool looking.- It was the "WOOD" post previous that reminded me of this skin I saw the other day.microkorg
- i work at slickwraps.com
hit me up if we can helpimbecile - Boo, it's just vinyl?detritus
- That is a 3M architectural vinyl. At Slickwraps we have a natural series with bamboo, mahogany, etc.. including a black ash.imbecile

- $300?BabySnakes
- Damn. That looks sturdy.pango
- flatscreens are hard to make from scratch. the remote control and cablebox will cost you too.sarahfailin
- Depends how you source the wood and if you build it yourself.BK
- If you jack a bunch of pallets, plane them down and get your carpenter on, could be free.BK
- i might try that BK, @baby snakes you think $300 for the cost of the wood?HijoDMaite
- just go buy one from tj maxximbecile

- There's 'a thing' - a very cool 'thing', a very expensive 'thing' that can be rented for about £5k a week. I want one to spend a few days just making <these.detritus
- otherwise <that takes ages to make, layer by layer slowly ablating top surfaces. Can't put in too much power with every pass, otherwise it all just burns to shtdetritus

- its a nice effect.omg
- you're looking to rent a laser?omg
- at those prices, you could just buy your own.omg
- No, I have a laser - what I'm after is a specific type of device, very rare and costing upwards of three quarters of a million to buy.detritus
- I've been trying to work out how to make one, but I'm not smart enough.detritus
- that's a lot of money to make a wood grained tile. I'm guessing you're looking to make something much bigger.omg
- 1000s of wood grained tiles :)detritus
- bet you could do it better with a cnc router to avoid the burning.omg
- No, a CNC has no way of understanding where the lay of the wood's inherent contours are.detritus
- Sand-blasting and lasering are discriminate - they only affect the softer or more burnable portions of the wood, thereby describing its character.detritus
- I have wondered at creating a bitmap contour and CNCing or lasering a piece of wood, but the problem is that a surface scan doesn't represent what is underneathdetritus
- so even a mill, or two, or three under surface, and already your contour map doesn't match the actual grain and form of the wood through its bulk.detritus
- so how would you get rid of the burning?omg
- the discoloration and smell is horrible.omg
- you don't go at it full whack :)
the laser can be set fine enough to just ablate the top percentage of a millimetre, so you just repeat downwards..detritus - ..sort of like the inverse of a 3D printer.
And yes, the smell can be awful - walnut is sickening :\detritus - that hardwood must take longer. I'll rarely work with wood in my laser due to the smells.omg
- i wish i could, but maybe someday.omg
- Eh? What sort of laser do you run.. and what for? That your business?detritus
- It's used primarily for business. Prototype research, manufacture low run in-house product design work. It's not used as a laser service for other businesses.omg
- It's a 45w laser. What your laser used for?omg
- Epilog? I run a laser cutting servicedetritus
- Oh, those are nice. Fslaser is the brand I choose.omg
