I am really not quite sure why anyone would want to laser engrave a photographic image onto a piece of wood in the first place but, trust me, once bitten it does become addictive.
Just a couple of 8 bit images I have recently laser engraved on Birch (at least I think it is Birch).

They look darn good!
The second one looks like Beech. ;)
Looks really, really good, too.
Thanks guys.
Just one more.

This image has been 'dithered' (reduced to 1 bit) then etched into a white painted wooden surface.

It knowing how to prepare the file first that gets me what is your process
The 8 bit images were not pre-prepared in any way, they were used just as they were downloaded from the net. However, those particular images were chosen for having a good level of contrast and no background.
The original for the dithered image was reduced to 1 bit at 200 d.p.i before reproduction.

I just can't stop :)
And here’s your selling slogan “ Give someone a woody “
