<p>I've never laser cut leather, but have done some research into
it.</p>
<ul>
<li>Real leather works pretty well, many of the software packages
have a leather setting on them, and you can get spectacular
results.<br>
</li>
<ul>
<li>Keep WELL ventilated - you'll litterally be burning skin, it
gets very smelly</li>
</ul>
<li>Faux leather - be very careful, or just don't do it at all.
They can be made of plastics that give off toxic fumes when
laser cut, and it's often difficult to track down the exact
composition to allow you to check in the first place.</li>
