I made for a school project, a based on open source wooden a3 sketch folder. Wich i'm going to share online in a open source database (this site) so people who like it are able to use it.

My inspirations comes from a open source: http://fablab.waag.org/project/sketch-folder 
The maker of this is: Ale Iadarola

The first thing I wanted to personalize was the format, so i made it from A4 paper format to a3 paper format. the second thing I wanted to personalize was the wooden bend pattern.
 

The laser cutter I used: Universal laser systems, VLS6.60.

Material I used: MDF 3mm thick.
