(You could also go after your machine with a metal drill bit<\/a>.)
\nBringing this a tad closer to home, Adobe’s resident creative whirlwind Russell Brown<\/a> had a ball laser-etching wood at the recent ADIM Conference<\/a> (check out these examples<\/a>).

\nOn a similar etch-stuff-on-weird-surfaces, CBS is promoting its fall lineup by scrawling ads on millions of eggs<\/a> [Via NPR]. Evidently Chicago-area company EggFusion<\/a> (“Promoting freshness with every impression!!”) is doing the honors. Every bite a delight, no doubt.
