I've always been a big proponent of unique luggage tags as it makes it a lot easier to identify your bags when you are picking it up at the airport. I recently got a CNC and wanted to practice some lettering as well as some simple leather work and a luggage tag seemed like a good item. Tag is about 5"x3" with the corners cut off and a 1/8" slot wide enough to fit the leather. I went with Times New Roman for the font and used a 30 degree V-Bit. The deeper angle allows you to paint and then sand the whole thing to reveal the letters. This plus the material of maple makes for some very crisp lines with no bleeding. I bought a box of snaps and some leather off of Amazon. It is a unique item when I'm at the airport.
