The designer Andrei Bulai, who proudly owns his own full, luscious beard, has created these fantastic wooden beard combs using Trotec wood. This simple tutorial also includes the downloadable graphic file and laser parameters.

Preparation

Required material
  • 3mm MDF, available here
  • Additional material to cover the rest of the work surface (e.g. spare paper)
Machine used
Tips
  • After you've placed the material into the laser machine, cover the remaining work area with pieces of paper. This will ensure maximum vacuum suction.
  • We suggest using a 2" lens that will be able to make a nice, clean, quick cut.
