Laser etched Bottlehead logo and Doc B

[mbroderick122]

Here's my Crack headphone amp that I laser etched the logo and Doc B signature on the wood case. The wood is unfinished at the moment.

The etched logo looks seriously cool!

Can't wait to see the finished product. Stain and varnish?

I personally like the laser etched Doc B sig better than the BH name plate.

Nicely done!  I found a local place that does laser etching on almost anything.  This will be a great way to label my DIY projects.  Thanks for the inspiration!

I was thinking of a Red Oak stain and a matte varnish. I think I'll be able to do it this weekend.

sounds like a good choice!  Just finished mine in English Chestnut.  Party on!

Anything to bring out the grain would work.  I tried honey oak, not dark enough.  Walnut is kind of dark but better than Oak.  I don't know what is in the middle of those.

But what a great toy er, tool.  Every hobbyist should have one, or, better yet, access to one.

Exactly in the middle of those two would be 1 part honey oak plus 1 part walnut.  Doesn't have to have a name to look good!!
But how 'bout "Bourbon Barrel Walnut" or "Morrison Molasses Oak"?

That's a really nice idea and it looks great, really in keeping with the brand. Is the laser etching done by hand? Its like a modern version of old school fire-branding!

Great idea! Can't wait to see the finished product

That is seriously cool..though I would have preferred only the logo to be etched, without the Bottlehead typo
Defo want to see the final result  ;D
