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.

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.
