Printed using hatchbox wood pla. I had a few issues with standoffs but a little glue fix those right up. I'm very happy with the way it turned out. Just waiting on the release of flippy drive to call it complete.

Nice! You could try hitting it with varnish or stain! Makes the wood look much more convincing.

Yep, maybe I'll revisit it again after trying it on some more smaller prints. Or just experiment with another jewel.
