Hello All,
We are back for a new collaboration (open to anyone) for a new marble wrist rest.
This one will be made of Italian Carrara marble and shaped to a completely new design !
As well, there will be the option for an engraved Parthenon logo filled with a metallic paint close to RAL 1024 (as per the keycaps set).
This engraving is made by water jet with a size of 29mm*25mm // 1.14*1 inch for a stroke thickness of almost 2mm (0.08inch) and a depth of 1mm (0.04inch).

Approved :thumb:

As per some requests, I added a few photos of the Carrara marble samples that I have, to show the variety.

Here is the color that will be used for the infill:

It is a metallic gold color that is a bit red/orange, closer to Ochre color, to try to match with the GMK Civilization RAL 1024.
A sample with Carrara marble is in the making and the engraving will be improved a bit.

Engraving looks pretty good. I’m excited. The infill looks very orange more than gold but I’m hoping it will look good with the white marble

I think I put the light to close when taking these photos, that gives the orange/warm reflection.
I have this photo with the white marble that is more representative:

I should receive all the wrist rests by end of the month, then prepare the shipping :)
