3D Engraving with the Xtool S1 40watt Diode Laser

[@diabloogre911]

so Maple looks to be a good wood, what other woods are good that won't leave behind the rings?

I use clear pine for all of my large engraves. Wide grain is the best, the tighter the grain the more lines. Cedar engraves a little dark, but clear cedar engraves really nice. It is just difficult to find larger clear pieces that are kiln dried. I always use kiln dried so that when I seal it, it should stay looking good for years.

Great video thanks. Quick question, do you need a 40W laser to get that level of depth? Could it be done on say a 24W diode laser?

I would think so I am running at 55% power. And I can't remember speed. You could up power slower speed or more passes. I ran tests on scrap pine first.
