Apple Bytes II by =savageworlds. A wonderful Art Nouveau aluminum work with lots of lovely beveled edges. Made to fit not only the cover of a customer's MacBook Pro, but it also cleverly and perfectly exposes the Apple logo. For technical information, please refer to the artist's comments. This artist was also suggested by ~Talia-May.

Description
Not the best photo, but most of the details came through.
!/8" aluminum sheet (approx. 8"x13") designed to fit around the Apple logo on a MacBook Pro.(simulated here by a fabric background with a paper cutout logo)
Beveled edges and cutting performed on a Gerber 3-axis CNC router. Art Nouveau design (by me) was laid out in AutoCad.
Custom design for ~slmuse [link]
Design and Layout: approx. six hours / Cut time: approx. two hours.
A DD??? How incredibly delightful!!
*blushes while performing a genteel curtsey before the roaring crowd* LOL
Heartfelt thanks to *Talia-May, ~mayana, and ^Kitten-of-Woe and all of the DA artists who have faved this piece.

This is amazing, I've never seen aluminum covers
I have a question, coming from someone unexperienced with the metal medium: How do you keep the aluminum from scratching the laptop when moving it around? (Assuming that the laptop will go in a case, where there's pressure on the aluminum piece between from the laptop bag padding and the laptop itself, or slight shifts when lifting and moving the laptop.) Do you use a velvet padding on the the other side of the aluminum, or do you apply a finish to the aluminum edges so that they don't scratch?
It's giving me new ideas to pursue for laptop covers. definite
to keep me inspired.
