After much deliberation and endlessly surveying friends/lovers/family and (potentially unwilling) customers at my store, I reluctantly decided to cast the shadow concept aside, or at the very least, leave it for personal exploration at a later time...


So with that safely filed away for future referencing, I settled on having the engraved design on the outer surface of the cuff. This makes it a little less water proof and much less 'mysterious shadow' but, to quote my partner "still cool I guess."


Here are some picturez...   

  
Using the laser cutter for the second time I decided to experiment with different images incorporating text, and some that simply are just text...
Another thing I wanted to play around with, feeling slightly more confident with using the laser cutter, was the different etching settings.
