re: Pretty up your Laser engraving.

I’d try pore-filling with a 1# cut of shellac (commercial stuff cut 50-50 for those who don’t mix their own), then some sanding, then another coat of the shellac. Do not remove the sanding dust between passes, as that’s what you’re hoping to fill the pores with.

Should be fairly laser-friendly. Definitely better than timbermate. Reminds me that I need to write up my pore-filling experiments one of these days.
