Photo engrave on myrtle wood

First find out if myrtlewood is ok to laser - some woods are toxic when burned
Then find out where it lies on the Janka scale
Then find the :proofgrade: material that’s closest to it on the Janka scale
Then run tests going up and down from the :proofgrade: setting until you find the one you like :slight_smile:

It works for all materials :slight_smile:

In this case:
Seems to be yes
1270
Red Oak at 1220
(though Birch at 1260 is closer and there are lots of settings on here for that)
and test from there :slight_smile:
