Thanks for all the nice comments.
The BB cuts like butter, but it was only 3mm. I’m going to pick up some 1/4” or 6mm because I want to make something that cuts easily, but has some strength. The laser caramelizes the edges and they have very little to no transfer of soot to your skin when handling them. It hasn’t worked that way with any hardwoods that I’ve cut.
