QOTD from Glowforge: What Proofgrade materials do you want?

Thread for some discussion I started before posting in here: Color layered proof grade plywood

So I recently went out of lurking, and actually made myself a profile now that weโ€™re approaching actual release! :smiley:

But I wanted to request a possibility for color layered plywood :slight_smile:

In the original post you mentioned that there will likely be two toned acrylic that you can engrave into for another color, but i was curious about a similar idea of having different layers of dyed wood, or perhaps a gradient of colors. Then having a proofgrade setup that knows exactly how deep to engrave for a certain color, or shade :slight_smile:

Not sure if this would bypass the issue of charring hiding the colors of the wood, but possibly using a dremel brush to take off the char would show the layered colors of the wood :smiley:

Thanks for reading my thoughts, and hopefully itโ€™s not too far fetched xD
