Woodturning | Intricate Laser Inlay On Custom Bottle Stoppers

In this video I laser engraved some inserts for bottle stoppers. I used the Creality Falcon 40 watt laser to do the engraving. Engraving inlay pieces for your work is a great way to embellish and personalize them.

Hi my name is Carl Jacobson,
I started woodworking with my grandfather as a young boy. I continued woodworking through high school, and started woodturning after seeing a turned project in a friends shop. Some of my fondest memories are working with my grandfather in his wood shop. Being able to share our passion for woodworking, ties it all together. We also do a lot of epoxy projects as well as woodturning.

Fantastic job & great idea for bottle stoppers Carl! Hope that you guys are doing well! 👍👍

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you!

[@mojoeshaw]

Truly one of the nicest guys on all of CZcams!!!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you 😊

[@mikedoyle5362]

Great use of the array tool in lightburn.

[@alangibb3100]

Carl great pattern for a bottle stopper, well done.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Alan!

[@brettgl21]

That is really cool! I am an idiot! I saw you put that blank on the lathe and it hit me! I meant to get a bunch of thread inserts today. 😂

[@charlesreicks648]

Thanks for the lesson Tim

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Tim!

[@glencrandall7051]

Well done Carl. Looks like you are putting the laser to good use. Thank you for sharing.. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Glen! I'm having a lot of fun with it 😁

[@mikedoyle5362]

The flat one would look great in bloodwood with very dark engraving. 😁

[@brokenbranchwoodshop1873]

Very nice Carl

[@CarlJacobson]

Thanks buddy!

[@LewisKauffman]

Thanks for the idea!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thanks buddy!

[@mikedoyle5362]

That is great Carl. It would make a great handle for a meat tenderizer or coffee press. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you buddy! I'm having a lot of fun can't wait to play around with the rotary.

[@Itasca57]

Cool beans! Now I’ll be looking at a new laser! I have a LaserPecker LP1, but it’s very slow, and limited as to what it can do.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thanks Matt! I watched quite a few videos with the LaserPecker it's really cool you can take it just about anywhere.

[@johnnyb95678]

Very cool! Thank you for sharing your learning experience.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you John, I'm having a lot of fun with this thing 🙂

[@woodfather]

Awesome idea, they look great Carl. If you're going to record lightburn again, I find the easiest way is just hit "Win + G", then in the pop up, look for a button called 'capture' - easily lets you record your screen to a video file. 👍

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Mario! Thanks for the tip too I'll give it a try.

[@glenmckelvey5952]

Hey Carl hope you and your family had a great 4th of July . I think I'm going to put one of those on my Christmas wish list lol . Cool idea take care .

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Glen, I hope you're having a good weekend. It really has a lot of fun and there's so much you can do with it.

[@alandisomma-od5fz]

Great. Love that.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Alan!

[@MarklTucson]

Looks great. For another effect, select the fill option instead of lines -- you can also play with different layers and line intervals to add more features as well.

[@CarlJacobson]

Very cool I'll keep playing with it. Thank you Mark!

[@williamellis8993]

Those are really nice, Carl. Think about using a flat insert and pouring clear epoxy over the end. You could then shape it into a dome. Just a thought (I ramble a lot in my mind).
Bill

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Bill! That's a really cool idea 😁

[@renaissancewoodworking]

I made laser inlay inserts for the bottom of my bowls.

[@CarlJacobson]

Very cool I love playing around with it.

[@paullayden]

Hi Carl .I'm on the hunt for a new lathe. I have a 14 X 43 King Canada now. Is there a lathe you recommend?

[@CarlJacobson]

Do you have a budget in mind? Email me [e-mail]

[@Jay-oq6qn]

I laser my signature and logo on the bottom of my bowls.

[@CarlJacobson]

Very cool!

[@jpncompany6275]

Once upon a time handmade was the norm. Then automated production came into play and the handmade element became less and less important in the desire for more and more by producing it for less. Now it's plastic items made in vast quantities. I guess if your chasing the dollar why not go full cnc, laser, ai and automation. If you want to preserve the essence of woodturning I'd say the traditions and skills are a better way to go. I understand this is a complex topic and has many nuances. I'm not saying either way is right or wrong.

[@renaissancewoodworking]

@@jpncompany6275 Very cool! Did you make your own treadle lathe? I’d like to try one someday.
