What happens here

Select a high-quality wood plank to serve as the base for your map. Woods such as Baltic birch plywood, maple, or cherry are generally recommended for their fine grain and stability, which produce excellent engraving results. The video appears to use a light-colored wood, suggesting good contrast. Inspect the wood for any knots, blemishes, or warping. If the surface is not perfectly smooth, sand it down to a fine grit (e.g., 220-grit) to ensure an even engraving. Once prepared, securely fasten the wood piece onto the work bed of your laser engraver or CNC router, making sure it is level and will not shift during the engraving process.

Goal: Select and prepare the wood material for machine engraving.
