Found a 2mm cork mat that is super easy to engrave and cut coasters from. Barely have to use any power for the cork to get super dark (5-10ish, at full speed).
Cutting at 100 power/300 speed.

Very nice results!
Do the engraved areas have any residue that rubs off? Did you seal them with anything? These look fantastic. Any source for the cork material?
The skulls turned out really nice … Thank you for sharing your material thickness and settings.
The 3mm cork I’ve been using came from widgetco. But it’s pre-cut to circular coaster size, so for custom designs I don’t have a good source yet.
As to residue, I haven’t noticed any significant amount at 5-10. Go higher than that and it starts to char.
There’s some residue on the edges, but if you just brush them off with a moist paper towel it’s gone.
I found cork sheets of 35x45cm on a scrapbooking webshop here in Sweden, I’m sure you can find some on Amazon if you search for 2mm cork sheet.
