How to Make Cherry Wood Bookmarks

Cherry wood bookmarks are a beautiful and practical piece of stationery. As a natural material, cherry wood is free of harmful chemicals and suitable for readers of all ages. Its natural wood grain and warm tones make it the perfect accessory for any book or notebook.

Now is going to use a Thunder Laser system to make laser cherry wood bookmarks. Let’s start to explore fun with the laser!

You can also draw on CorelDraw and then click on the laser plug-in to switch to the laser software. Set the appropriate parameters on the laser software and click Download to transfer the design to your laser engraving machine.

Place the cherry boards on the work table of the laser engraving machine, move the laser head to the center of the boards, adjust the focal length, press the “Origin” on the LCD control panel to set the starting position, and then press the “Start” to start the work. Get the laser bookmarks out, then we can polish them.

We can use a polisher or sandpaper to polish the cherry wood bookmarks for removeing greasy and dirty. That's because water will make cherry wood warp immediately. So don't wet your cherry wood bookmarks. Let’s do it by yourself！
