Wanted to try my hand at chip carving, first step was to transfer the template onto the wood.
Quite a few different techniques for this but I couldn't resist using my laser, source image wasn't the best as I had to scan it from a book, could have spent more time tweaking the trace settings in lightburn but figured this would be good enough for a start.
First attempt I forgot to scale the image up, second attempt was still a bit small but workable.
