Dave on behalf of Sol Diego volunteered to construct the furniture for the San Diego presence at the Souk at Burning Man 2014. The table top is to be the centerpiece, decorated with a pattern blended with the Quemaduras del Sol sun. The technique is to mask the wood with masking tape, cut patterns in the tape with the laser, and then spray paint the masked areas (rinse, repeat).
Look! Actual Burning Man art being created on the laser! That’s a milestone.
