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!
