Wood is by far the most laser friendly material available. It can be engraved or cut very easily. And laser engraving of wood offers some advantages over milling machines or similar mechanical methods. One advantage is the ability to cut very detailed pieces with delicate filigree work. In addition, when engraved, lighter colored woods like cherry or maple produce very nice contrast where the laser vaporizes away the wood. This high visual contrast is what makes lighter woods so popular when combined with our line of engravers. Although there are many types of other wood products that are designed for use with the laser, many more that are waiting to be discovered by you. Each type of wood has its own characteristics. For example, some wood is denser than other wood and denser, harder wood requires more laser power to cut or engrave. When working with a specialty wood or one of the less common woods, such as cherry, walnut, maple, alder and oak, be sure to thoroughly investigate the engraving and cutting characteristics before committing to use. There are woodworking shops in nearly every large city that will have a wealth of information on nearly all woods. You can even use the Internet to do a search on a particular wood to explore its characteristics.
