Hello, Has anyone engraved on Acacia cutting boards. If so , would you be so kind as to share the settings.
Also is it necessary to mask the item?
Thank you

Pretty sure @shop did this. Lets see. Not sure if he posted settings anywhere. Engraving is generally pretty forgiving and how you want to do it might depend a bit on the level of detail in your image. It might be faster and get you better results if you can do a test, but if this is your only sample of acacia, I might see if @shop wants to share.
