In this video I demonstrate some techniques for making small decorative maker plates using wood, resin and a variety of dyes, fillers and pastes. Having a laser cutter/engraver helps but a CNC router or a good hand or machine powered fret saw could also be used. I'm still not sure if using a vacuum chamber was a good idea but I ended up with three good plates out of five so maybe it helps.
