A sweet little thank-you gift is in order after any great dinner party. This tutorial will show you how to design your own Hors d'œuvres picks to make a set or a one-of-a-kind.
Walnut is a great material to use because it's traditional, smells good, oils beautifully, and has high perceived value. It is strong along the grain making it ideal for carved flatwear.
This laser cut fork is finished off by some minor carving and sanding, nothing a little pocket knife can't handle!
Plus a 1"x3" snippet of walnut is FREE with your custom design at www.CutYourWay.com
Use promo code: nuttydeal for a 1"x3" piece of 1/4" or 1/8" walnut.
This tutorial uses 1/4" walnut. (the elephant cheese plate is also laser cut but that's another project!)

Signing UpStep 1Design the Fork
To fit this in the 1"x3" free space I drew a few guidelines in InkScape (which is free at www.InkScape.org) or you can use illustrator or coreldraw...any vector editing software.
You have to abide by the guidelines and submit your file at www.CutYourWay.com 's home site, and by typing "nuttydeal" in the promo code box you'll get a 1"x3" walnut piece free including shipping worldwide. You don't have to make a fork ;)
Blue hairlines cut through, solid black etches, etc. This project I'm using only blue hairline and solid black to etch the words "Star Hostess"
I put a little star cutout in the center of the fork and the handle looks like comet-tails. Very tiny detail comes out well when laser cutting.

no problem! You can also make cocktail pics, olive skewers...honey dippers, lots of cool wooden utensils! The sanding finishing makes it look super finished and professional.
