It's all in the detail, part 2...

After moving forward with plans to pour concrete into the top of the table top in order to create a new finish to Morna's side table, I explored the possibilities of putting the pattern back from the original vinyl top. The best way to try and put this pattern back on to the top of the concrete was to laser-cut it on. I know this is going to be a tricky task so in order to try some different things I tested how detailed the laser-cutter could be on concrete, below are some results:




After attempting these I then decided to design a border pattern for the table and came up with some ornate corner pieces.

This was then tested on a bit of spare card that was lying around.


This gives a pretty good representation of the detail in the corner decoration and hopefully the same finish that will be on the finished concrete table top.
