Laser Magnets and Keychains


Visiting a gift-shop and came across these.
Testing the community knowledge… what can you tell me about these?

What material are they made from? Is it all lasered or is there some that is CNC’d.
It appears to be lasered plywood… can someone confirm?

Do you make these kinds of things? Is this something you can tell others how to make?

It looks fully lasered to me, while most of the keychains like this you see around are made from birch plywood sometimes even multiple layers of birch plywood, the fact you can see the grain underneath continuing in the lasered areas, make me 99% sure it is solid wood and not ply. The Grain / color looks like black cherry.

I love my omtech laser and I do make things like this yes,The image shared is just an example of ply, not solid wood, but I can make a solid wood one, just need to plane down some cherry. And abosolutely, it is easy to provide instruction/guidance on let me know if you would like to chat about it.

100% those are lasered and very likely plywood of some type, there are many varieties that cut well on the laser.
