To Make Your Cheese Board With Glowforge

Load your material into your Glowforge, I used a bamboo board. Now upload your Cheese Board SVG by clicking the + button and selection upload and once on the desktop drag the file to size to fit on your Glowforge. You will be able to see your image and where it fits in the Glowforge on your desktop via the camera.

Because the file is an SVG you can right click and ungroup it and move it around to fit on your board. I have also included a bunch of grapes in the download too, but didn’t use that. However, you do have the flexibility to alter and move about the files.

When you are happy you need to set the Glowforge settings for a bamboo board. I used….

Glowforge Settings For A Bamboo Board

• Speed, 1000
• Power 100
• Lines per inch 225
• I put my focus height on .38 although this wasn’t right as my placement was slightly off.

I have to say its its so much easier using proof grade materials and the QR code takes all the guesswork out of it. This print took 42 minutes to engrave. Cutting is so much quicker than engraving but both are such great techniques with different benefits. When you are happy press print.

How To Clean Your Bamboo Board After Engraving On Glowforge

I used a soft washing brush and soap to clean the board afterwards and clean off any residue. I then oiled my board with food safe oil.

If You Are Using Cricut Vinyl To Make Your Cheese Board?

Upload your image to Cricut Design Space, there’s a guide here. If you are using the SVG you can ungroup and change the design to fit the shape of your board. However remember to right click, select all and weld your finished image before sending to cut.

Weeding Your Cheese Board SVG Design 

Once cut, carefully weed your vinyl, this is the most time consuming part. You can either weed as one whole piece, or separate elements and build as a jigsaw on your tray. 

I chose to weed as one piece, but make sure you weed out all the little bits. I find it useful to have a copy of the image closely so I can keep referring to it. Also light helps, I love my bright pad for this. 

Once weeded cut a piece of Cricut transfer tape and carefully lay over your weeded elements, and using your scraper, transfer the images from the contact sheet to the transfer tape, ready to transfer to your tray.

Transferring Your Cheese Board SVG

Now ensure your tray surface is clean and free of dust and oil. Use a lint roller to make sure its clean. My tray was a bamboo tray which I find harder to adhere because its a bit oilier. However, it’s doable, it just takes a lot of patience.

Lay the transfer paper in place, now use your brayer and scraper to rub out all of the bubbles and adhere the vinyl to the tray. Lift the transfer paper a bit at a time, I find it much easier to cut it off in sections as it lifts away to prevent it sticking back down.
