Laser Engraving Bamboo Tutorial! Get the Perfect Settings and Finish! How to Seal Cutting Boards!

If you've been lasering for any amount of time, you know that Bamboo can be very hard to nail down settings. The material itself can vary widely, even on the same board - as you'll see in the video. Follow along as we laser engrave this bamboo cutting board and seal it for food. Get starter settings and elevate your project to make more money with a beautiful finish.
Remember, every laser is different and these settings are just a baseline - what works on our laser might not work on yours, which is why we always get an extra of whatever material we're working with so we can nail down the perfect settings.

How would you accomplish this with a Glowforge?

[@AlivePixelCreates]

same thing move the focus up a little, you can place a 2 mm space to get the focus there instead the cutting board. the important is to defocus just a little, you might need to test one or two times before find how much you need to defocus. each laser is different

Daniel, your Roly is too clean, you must not cut much with it. My two haven't looked like that since they were a week old.
They are the best diode gantries out there. Don't forget Bamboo is grass not wood and tung oil need to be fully cured to be food safe.

Absolutely. Also I clean it after each Job lol and yeah you are right tung oil need to be cured. Thank you for your support and input.
