This project was extremely fun to make. This had a big learning curve because I've never used the CNC machine before. During the process I was nervous because I wasn't sure if it was going to come out the way I expected it to. Painting this wasn't my first intentions. Sanding it down to the color away from the wood. I decided to paint afterwards because I didn't like the appearance. I still didn't like it after painting so I used polyurethane to make it look cool.This project is going to be a gift to my mom. I hope to do this project again with another theme. It was hard to incorporate a rose into a laptop stand for me but once I got ideas from peers it came to me.
