Some time ago, I was given a laser wood cut kit of a bee. It’s from a small design studio in the UK (Gilbert13). I took a few phone photographs as I put it together. I thought the kit was too cute to neglect sharing the design!

The piece of laser-cut wood is 21 centimetres by 13.5 centimetres. The kit comes with colour instructions printed on thin, brown card.
The instructions are very easy to follow; they’re accompanied by picture aids, after all. One is supposed to use a sharpie, or perhaps some other black felt-tip pen to colour the body of the insect, but I didn’t have one and used some brown ink to stain the wood. The colour is less subtle in person.

Putting together the bee I thought about how simple and easy the steps were – how ‘accessible’ the kit is, really – and that’s good design! It makes me want to try out crafting something through the use of a laser cutter, too.
That is so appealing,and i am very fond of Bees, you could perhaps create your own card,wood tin sculptures too? I am sure they would be successful!

Yeah. Looking at the wooden bee, I have a good understanding of how the kit is put together. I do have access to a laser cutter, should I want to use one. It would be a fun project to make something with it sometime!

To make a series of wooden beetles – or any such wildlife warrior insect – would be lovely! Thank you for your thoughts and comments!!
