Step 2: Laser process wood
Place the veneer sheet on the honeycomb cutting table in your laser. Position the material and then cover the rest of the work area to form a more powerful vacuum.
Job parameters may vary depending on the laser machine used and the laser power available.

One of the popular wood species: oak
For an application like this one, we recommend our varnished oak veneer panel. The veneered oak panel can be utilized for a variety of applications such as signs, gifts, architectural models, and handicrafts. Experiment with different laser settings or types of wood, and create a variety of different guitar models!
