I have been tasked with lasering a piece of wood, most likely a lightly grained maple as it is difficult to find alder around here. But any thoughts on getting this image to laser right? A lot of brick work.325462

I'd be tempted to try a test piece exactly as it is, its a 2 tone image so should engrave pretty well under 300-400 dpi on most woods.

How large of engraving is needed? I wouldn't hesitate to try. It looks a little out of square though.

They are looking for a size of 8"X10" I had to reduce it to upload it. I'll give it a college try.

--I took it and darkened it a bit and tried to thin out the darker areas to leave more room for the lighter areas...

It's pure B&W, so there's really not much to do to it. I might run it through a sharpening filter to make the edges standout a bit more, but I don't think this image really needs it.
