Some woods cut extremely well with laser. The laser leaves a slightly dark to dark edge on
the wood, this can be removed easily by wiping or slightly sanding the edges. Great for hobbyist and model making.

Plywood standard building grade plywood is a material that usually does not produce an acceptable result when engraved. It is also a very difficult material to cut. Since the grain of the wood chips in
the plywood run in different directions, it is difficult to obtain a consistent depth when engraving. Air
bubbles within the plywood cause problems because they severely disrupt the laser beam when
cutting. Because of the air bubbles it is virtually impossible to cut cleanly through standard plywood
There are specialty plywood products that can be found in hobby shops or specialty wood stores
 that will engrave and cut much nicer than standard plywood products purchased through your local lumber supplier.
