Custom Montana Wall Plaque: CNC Laser Engraved and Cut 3/4″ (18 mm) Pine

Pine is a really good material for making custom wall plaques, that’s what we’ll use today for CNCROi.com‘s blog, 3/4″ (18 mm) thick provides a nice depth when hung on a wall and CNC laser engraved and cut.

CNCROi.com has made lots of custom wall plaques in various designs, materials, sizes and shapes and we’ll review how we go about making them including some made out of lamacoid combinations.

For Pine specifically, this custom wall plaque is first masked to reduce the amount of sanding required after the laser is finished engraving and cutting it.
