Just finished printing the excellent Tudor Rose Box by @Louise_Driggers in Laywoo-d3. I need to do a bit of cleanup to remove some wood fibres but the real question is, should I varnish it? 
I might print just one panel for experimentation first…
Louise’s Tudor Rose Box is here:
My original review of Laywoo-d3 which has more details is here:

Yes, you should:-) Although it may have been easier to varnish the pieces before assembly. I don’t know how well Laywood copes with wood stain, if it is okay, then I would suggest a mahogany colour with a high shine (look at images of the Great Bed of Ware to see what I mean).
Thank you for printing my model and posting pictures. It’s a great print and I may need to get myself some Laywood.
That’s one of the coolest printers in this group. 
Which hot end do you use¿
@Javier_Prieto my hot end is the one @nop_head supplies in his Mendel 90 kit. I believe its a J Head with a 0.4mm nozzle. Really 0.4mm is a bit small for Laywoo-d3 but I get away with it without too many jams.
That’s one beautiful and practical way to enclose the #mendel90 Great work @Daniel_Bull !
You liked the cabinet @Jason_Ray 
Yeah I wanted it in the house and the other half had minimum requirements that it looked like furniture Although saying that I tried using that technique with my AstroBlaster arcade cabinet project and she wont let me have that downstairs

im still waiting for the day, I get prints like these
One of the big reasons (besides being the best desing IMHO) I picked the #Mendel90 is because it didnt look too “robot-y” but your cabinet really fixes all concerns, probably including sound as well! Great job! I’d like to see you #opensource that cabinet design as well, as I’m sure you put a lot of smarts into it. Thx for sharing it!
LOL, yeah I would open source it except I had no design, I literally hunted out scrap bits of wood in the shed and put them together with some sheets of clear acrylic in a cuboid roughly the same dimensions as the printer.
The base is a very thick sheet of MDF to make it all stable and rigid. Then the frame is made out of hardwood and assembled with PVA and screws (which were hidden as much as possible). Finally the base has some very thin ply to hide the screws and join lines clad around it. A bit like you would skirting board.
The sides sheets of acrylic slot in at the bottom and are held by thumb screws at the top. The back acrylic is glued and structural (we need some rigidity after all). The front sheet of acrylic slides in and out front the top and the top piece literally just sits in place and can be lifted out.
Thats about it really
Oh yeah, and it was designed to keep the noise down so I could run it at night with the added bonuses of keeping an even temperature for ABS and air tightness to store filaments (there is silica gel in the bottom).
The only real mistake I made is the PSU is also inside, this means I have to vent the heat a little on long prints.
