Is all plywood laser safe?

Wood materials, like plywood, are a popular substrate for laser engraving. When choosing your material for your Glowforge or laser project, ensure wood is free of glue, paint, or unknown coatings, as some can produce toxic fumes or interfere with the laser beam. Glowforge Proofgrade materials have been tested and are laser-safe!
