When laser cleaning Willow, start with low power and slow scan speeds to gently lift surface grime without scorching its delicate fibers. This wood's high porosity soaks up contaminants deeply, which helps the laser absorb well and clear buildup effectively, but it also traps heat locally due to poor conductivity, so you must overlap passes carefully midway through to prevent uneven charring or cracking. Avoid rushing the process—multiple light treatments bring back that natural grain safely.

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.
