Looking for an online resource for laser cutting custom wood structures. Any help would be appreciated.
I don’t know of any services that do this. I’d recommend buying a 10w laser cutter and learning the software. Lightburn is what I use, very intuitive. The learning curve is shallow too, it’s easier than a 3d printer.
Once you have a laser cutter, you won’t know how you did without it.
I can recommend one if you’re interested.

To which I would add: invest in a good pair of laser goggles (not just ‘glasses’) effective at the operating wavelength(s) of your cutter, and wear them religiously when operating the cutter.
Many of these devices operate at invisible wavelengths, where the eye might be dilated due to lack of visible light, and even millisecond exposure can cause irremediable damage. In most cases the shielding of the cutter will preclude ‘accidental exposure’ but in my opinion neurotic care to prevent even the least chance of encountering stray coherent light is wise.
