Introduction
Wood is one of the most common crafting materials, making it ideal for both engraving and cutting projects.
This time, we mainly use laser cutting to create letter-shaped wooden lamps. Large letter forms, smaller patterns, and cut-out text work together to create a strong visual impact.
After adding LED strip lights inside the wooden structure, light shines through the pierced patterns and words, turning the letter shape into a glowing decorative lamp.
Before your work begins
Clean the lens and mirrors
Check the laser head and nozzle for dust or buildup
Ensure ventilation and air assist are working properly
Confirm the machine is running smoothly and normally
Operational Process
STEP01
Prepare & Position the Material
Prepare the pine wood board and place it flat on the laser bed. A clean, stable surface helps keep the letter outline and cut-out patterns accurate.
Secure the wood if needed to prevent shifting during cutting, especially when processing large letter shapes, small patterns, and narrow interior details.
STEP02
Import & Adjust the Design File
Import the alphabet-shaped lamp design file into LightBurn, then adjust the size, position, and cutting settings according to your pine wood board.
Double-check the large letter outline, small decorative patterns, and cut-out text before starting. Make sure all details fit within the usable wood area.
STEP03
Set the Correct Laser Focus
Accurate focusing is important for achieving clean cutting edges on wood. If your machine has auto focus, use it for quick setup. For manual focusing, lower the laser head with the focus stick until it touches the wood surface at the correct angle.
STEP04
Start Cutting
Use the Frame function to outline the laser cutting area. Make sure the projected frame matches your wood board and the lamp design stays within the material boundary.
Once everything is aligned, start the laser job. Stay near the machine while it’s running and monitor the cutting process carefully.
STEP05
Post Processing
When the cutting is complete, carefully remove the wooden pieces from the laser bed.
Apply glue to the small wooden blocks and attach them evenly around the letter shape. Then apply glue beside the blocks, wrap the LED strip light around the inner structure, and secure it in place. Finally, apply glue to the other side of the blocks and attach the second wooden board to complete the letter-shaped lamp.
Come and Try!
Imagine your custom letter lamp glowing on a wall, shelf, or desk, with warm light shining through the pierced patterns and words.
With laser cutting and LED lighting, simple wood can become personalized illuminated word art that brings warmth, creativity, and character to your space.
