    Default Edge lit Plexi

    These are photos of a edge lit panel I did last year. The panels are milled on both sides and I milled the frames as well. Brian Sharp Designs did the art and design.

    That's one thing I learned the more artwork the more sources of light you need since the light won't travel as far. it looks way cool.

    Default Very very cool....

    What type of bit and how deep did you have to cut to get the effect ??? What type of light source did you use ?

    The one picture looks like an argument between the "flat earth" and the "round earth" societies.
    The decimal point seems to be the most important on the z axis... x & y not so much....
