Caspar David Friedrich painted Two Men Contemplating the Moon in the years of German Romanticism: two wanderers, seen from behind on a rocky path, stand side by side, one resting his arm on the other’s shoulder, and gaze at the crescent moon and the evening star, framed by the gnarled branches of a great uprooted oak. This multilayer design by Decorartes is based on that public-domain painting and made for laser cutting.

It is built from 5 layers of 3 mm wood: black on top, then grayish blue, bluish gray and ochre, over a solid yellow backing. Each deeper layer shows through the cut-outs of the layers above, so the moon, the evening sky and the rocks stand out with real depth. Every layer is one single connected piece, and all layers share the same outer frame and the same edges, so they line up exactly when glued and no color peeks out between them.

At 300 x 200 mm, or roughly 11.8 by 7.9 inches, it fits standard laser beds. You may enlarge it freely, scaling all five layers by the same amount, but should not cut it smaller, because its finest lines are 1.3 mm wide.

The ZIP includes every layer as SVG, DXF, DWG, AI, PDF and EPS, an assembled preview with the five colored layers stacked, an alignment check file, preview images and a README with the colors and the assembly steps.
