But they weren't shown by the people that did them. Just people that liked the images. I ran across some of the same images on other sites that said they were engraved with a dremel tool.</p> <p>On the other hand, I did see an egg shell lasered on the site of an industrial laser company. It was not a full shell, but had the back half removed. I'm guessing because the laser probably blasted through the front and hit the back while out of focus.</p> <p>No idea what type of laser they used, so it may not be the same wavelength as the typical laser engraver.</p> <p>If you've got the shells, I'd say give it a shot. (maybe with a sheet of cardboard under it to catch the bits if it doesn't work)</p><hr /><a name="a4556_3"></a><p><b>From: Zonas</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4556.3">#3</a>]<br /> 8 Aug 2006<br /><b>To: Becky (KIAIJANE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4556.1">#1</a>] 8 Aug 2006</p> <p>I remembered this from before.

I company out there has already patented laser marking fruit (I know, I don't understand the patent either)<br /> <br /> I have also heard about carving eggs with a laser, seen a couple of samples, but was unsure if it was lasered or ???<br /> <br /> Do I sense pumpkin carving reaching an all new level <span class="e_tongue" title=":P"><span class="e__">:P</span> </span><br /> <br /> We should start a thread on what have we tried to laser - worked or didn't work? <br /> <br /> During the cigar fad, I met a laser owner who told me he did over 100,000 that year personalizing cigars and the boxes they came in. The engraving on the cigar looked great. <hr /><a name="a4556_6"></a><p><b>From: Becky (KIAIJANE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4556.6">#6</a>]<br /> 9 Aug 2006<br /><b>To: Buzz</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4556.5">#5</a>] 9 Aug 2006</p> <p>Buzz-<br /> I think that's an eggs-ellent idea!!

Either I was doing something wrong, or this was one tough chicken. My 30W LaserPro required 100%P, 50%S to cut through that egg. Maybe white eggs are easier to laser through? I'll try to remember to take & post a picture of it before it get destroyed. <hr /><a name="a4556_9"></a><p><b>From: JHayes55</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4556.9">#9</a>]<br /> 9 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: Vicky (ANDERI)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4556.8">#8</a>] 9 Apr 2007</p> Vicky - don't give up - this market has great potential.

Not sure where the market would be for this sort of thing, though. :S We did it just for fun because of the season, we had family in from out of town and wanted to give them a fun demo, yadda, yadda, yadda. Was your egg as difficult to crack as mine was? Or do white eggs laser more easily than brown? Store bought? Mine came from a "free range" chicken, which might explain why it was so tough. :P <hr /><a name="a4556_11"></a><p><b>From: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4556.11">#11</a>]<br /> 10 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: JHayes55</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4556.9">#9</a>] 10 Apr 2007</p> Go to Joe's for breakfast.<br /> <br /> Home of the $800 omelet. :P <hr /><a name="a4556_12"></a><p><b>From: Harvey only (HARVEY-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4556.12">#12</a>]<br /> 10 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: Vicky (ANDERI)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4556.10">#10</a>] 10 Apr 2007</p> Eggs vary in thickness, due to breed and the amount of calcium supplements they receive.

Eggs are surprisingly tough.
