Further experiments with Saint Olms (Patreon)

After the leather version of this bookmark design didn't work out, I wanted to try again in a different medium: veneer. Veneer is basically super thin wood. Walnut, in this case. I glued together two parts for added stability before cutting and engraving on the glowforge.

While I like of overall look of this, the engraved bits just need a little something extra. Maybe a dark oil wash to make them recede? Or a bright silver to make them stand out?
