I wanted to wait for a dry day so I could bring my laser engraver on the porch and cut the wood. Moist air causes the wood to warp, and that is almost impossible to work with a laser. I never got the dry day, so I took every precaution to make it work. I added relief cuts so the wood could fall away instead of warping the whole piece. I cut the outline first, then focused on the small internal holes. I taped the corners of the raw wood sheet. I did not put the support pieces in the picture. Most of the holes required me to punch them out, but the visible surface remained unblemished.

Three octaves, and a circular control panel
