Beautiful as are all of the projects you've posted. I do have a random question: what laser power/speed settings are you using for the engraving? I know they will vary from wood to wood, but whenever I've tried this on some of my pieces, I find it burns down more than it leaves a visible mark. I have a 10W Xtool. Love what you're doing, don't be afraid to show some more turning as well.
Thank for following along Tony! With my 10W Xtool, I’m running 72 power and 80-85speed. Hope that helps. I’ve had great success with those settings. I’ve got some bowl blanks coming in today. I bought more Etimoe, which is such a beautiful wood. It’s well mannered on the lathe and it finishes so well. I have an Etimoe platter in one of my videos. Have a great day!
I watched the Etimoe video as well. It is stunning. I've never heard of it but with your endorsement I'll be watching out for it. Thank you so much for the reply. I'll be giving those settings some testing in my own shop.
Amazing work
Thank you ❤️
That turned out amazing! Fantastic job as always, Derek
