Laser burning



My Low Rider 2 doing some work for Christmas burning charcuterie and cutting boards.

It's been a while since I have played with it, but on these bamboo boards I have found a 600-900mm/m feed rate with a power of 30-40% power have been burning nice.


For weeks I have had in my mind that line from Ace Ventura "Laaaa-whoo-zaaa-heeer" with the idea to make "Cha-Cute-Ta-heer" for a charcuterie board for a family memeber whom I used to watch the movie basically on repeat when we were kids.

I found and purchased a design of Ace and modified it to suit the theme, adding the text.



The real pity is I assumed the boards were the same size, so it came out off center. Bummer!

Over all, it holds up well and for under 100 bucks at the time, the laser is holding up well!
