"Best wood" depends on your machine, how much power it has and the speed you at which are engraving/cutting. Most people who do laser cutting prefer a soft wood that doesn't have a lot of hard grain.
Look for light colored wood to contrast the dark laser etching marks. Alder is a favorite, and we carry thin Alder sheets in 1/16", 1/8", 3/16", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", and 3/4" that are sure to please. Basswood also works great, along with Aspen, Poplar, Hard Maple, Cherry, and Walnut. Try some of our different hardwoods to see what works best you.
