Make a Pumpkin Patch Sign on Your xTool Laser

We started this project in Canva, saved it as an SVG and then imported it into xTool Studio. We couldn't get our image just right, so we adjusted it in LightBurn and then imported it into xTool's software again. This worked great, even though it took a little longer than we had hoped.

Next, we put our pre-measured wood into the xTool P3 and made sure our design was the correct size.

From there, we chose our material from xTool's prepared list. We chose 1/4 inch plywood. It didn't matter too much since we were just engraving and not cutting. Remember to remove the cone from the xTool P3 laser before you engrave. You get a cleaner burn that way.

The first pass wasn't deep enough, so we did it one more time and liked it better.

We wanted to stain the sign and started by using a honey-colored stain and let it dry.

Since it wasn't exactly what we wanted, we did our second coat with a darker stain and then added some color with paint markers. You need to have a steady hand when you do this.

Here's our sign in its own little pumpkin patch. Let us know if you have any questions in the comment section.
