While lasers are widely used across various industries, including woodworking, few studies
to date have addressed the issue of cutting fresh wood. In the present investigation, wood stemming
from fresh tree branches was cut at dierent laser powers and beam travel speeds. A fiber laser and
a CO2 laser were used for the research. The cellular structures of the cut surfaces were examined,
with some of them found to be covered with a layer of compacted, charred cells. This may be a
favorable phenomenon, preventing the invasion of pathogens via the wounds caused by laser beam
branch cutting in nurseries, plantations, and orchards.
