When laser cleaning Rosewood, watch its notable porosity right away—it can trap contaminants deep inside, leading to uneven results if you blast too aggressively. I've seen this hardwood absorb laser energy better than many denser woods like oak, so it heats up quickly without much reflection. This works best when you start with gentler passes to avoid scorching the surface grains. Tends to clean smoothly for cultural artifacts or instruments because of its natural oils that resist charring, unlike softer pines. Just keep scans slow and overlap spots well to pull out embedded dirt without cracking the fibers.

Directly affects Scan Speed and Energy Density. Increase this to amplify downstream effects.
Smaller spots concentrate energy into a smaller area.
A bigger spot lets you scan faster while keeping good coverage.
