Instructions

1. Prepare the Materials  
       - Plywood: Choose stains or dyes to be applied after laser cutting to enhance the natural wood texture.
    
    2. Prepare the Design File  
       - Download the design file from the source link provided on the project page.  
       - Unzip the file to access the SVG.  
       - Load the SVG into your laser cutting software.
    
    3. Set Up the Laser Cutter  
       - Adjust the design size to fit your chosen material dimensions.  
       - Set the appropriate laser parameters:  
         - Cut: Specify power and speed for clean cuts.
       - For the material-specific settings, refer to your laser cutter’s guidelines.
    
    4. Use the Laser Cutter 
       - Place your material on the laser bed.  
       - Run the cutting process.
    
    5. Following Laser Cutting  
       - For Plywood: Wipe smoke marks away with a slightly damp rag. Apply the wood stain or dye.  

    6. Assemble the Layers  
       - Align the layers carefully to ensure proper alignment of the design.  
       - Use appropriate adhesives:  
         - Wood Glue for plywood.  
       - Use clamps to secure the layers while the adhesive dries.
       - A gloss spray enhances and protects the artwork for plywood.
    
    7. Prepare for Wall Mounting  
       - Attach a hanging mechanism, such as adhesive strips, to the back of the artwork.  
       - Verify that the mechanism is suitable for the wall surface.
