Has anyone tried this? I am concerned that it will crack out and ruin the piece.
For that matter, does laser engraving blanks that have been turned pretty thin cause the blanks to crack? Or is the heat localized enough that it works okay?
Woodnwhimsies offers laser engraving of maple cigar pens, but the wood on a cigar pen is pretty thick.
If no one knows, I can give it a try, but I would rather not risk a fairly nice blank if it is well known that it won't work.
