Wood Engraving Finish Questions

Hello! So I have been doing some basic engraving using makerflo crafts memory boxes for this entire year. I recently discovered talking with their team that they adjusted the finish on their boxes and since then I’ve been having a real difficult time getting consistent results. Sometimes half the box looks great but then it gets to a certain grain of the box and the result is completely different.

Are there any tips or tricks on what I could consider doing here? Adding a picture where the top looks great and the bottom is splotchy.

Unfortunately you don’t write much about the material itself and the machine parameters you use.
Since the engraving is so bright and your profile says Ruida/OMT… I assume it’s a CO2 laser…, to me it looks like the top layer isn’t removed completely. But, that’s based on the information I (don’t) have.
It could also be dyed BB which absorbs color differently deep.
