Notes
Premium hardwood with beautiful reddish-brown tones that deepen with laser heat. Engraves dark with rich color and grain variation in filled areas. Denser than basswood — needs more power.
Tips
Design with the grain, not against it — the natural color variation is part of the appeal. Lightly sand after engraving to remove loose char while keeping the dark mark.
