Laser Cut Wooden Seal
This wooden stamp could be used as a wax seal, or as a stamp on paper or fabric, but I'm using it as a brand seal for ceramic pieces.
It's incredibly simple to make, with hardly any materials, and the laser is able to get a great amount of detail.
What You'll Need
01. Scrap of wood (or acrylic) 1/8-1/4" thick, at least 4 times larger than the seal
02. Double sided tape
03. Xacto/Scissors

Prepare File
Set up your file for laser cutting.
To create my stamp, I set up four circles that would stack on top of each other.
2 inner layers, the logo reversed for the seal, and the normal logo for the top (to register the stamp)

Laser Cut
Cut out your pieces.
The depth of the etching is up to you, but you want to give enough depth to leave a clear impression (I did about 1/16")

Assemble Stamp
Lay each piece down on the double sided tape, cut out and stick together.
Print!
If you are using the seal as a ceramic stamp, I had the best luck printing with it a couple hours after working the clay.
