There is a technique called "Raden" in Japanese. It means to inlay using shells on lacquerware or wooden surfaces. Originally it was a traditional technique by hand, I thought of the idea of doing it by the laser cutter. For the seashell, I used the one my friend gave me. She collected these beautiful seashells on the beach of Goa, India. To get more detailed instruction to make it and the data, please check here.
