Burned in, one piece at a time

A few favourites from the bench. Every one of them started as a photo, a logo or a single sentence in a message.

What we make

If it holds still, we can engrave it

From a single keepsake to a few hundred branded coasters, every piece gets the same proof, the same care and the same clean burn.

Custom Coasters

Wood, slate, cork or leather, as a single piece or a matching set. Monograms, logos, track maps, hobbies and inside jokes all burn beautifully.

Drinkware & Flasks

Powder-coated flasks, tumblers and bar blades engraved through the coating for a sharp two-tone look that will not wear off.

Keychains & Small Gifts

Leatherette fobs, luggage tags, bottle openers and tokens. Small items, big sentiment.

Photo Engraving

Send a photo and we convert it to a high-detail halftone engraving on slate or light hardwood. Pets, cars, portraits, places.

Business & Bulk Orders

Branded coasters, employee gifts, event favours and merch, consistent across every piece in the run.

Signs, Plaques & Décor

House signs, memorial plaques, cutting boards and ornaments for the mantle, the porch or the office wall.

Something else entirely?

If it is flat enough to fit under the laser, we have probably engraved it. Bring the odd ideas.

How it works

From idea to keepsake

Five steps, one proof, zero surprises. You see exactly what you are getting before the laser ever fires.

  1. 01

    Tell us the idea

    Send a photo, a logo, a quote or just a sentence. We will recommend the material and size that will make it shine.

  2. 02

    Approve a proof

    You get a digital mock-up on the actual item before anything is burned. Tweak it until it is exactly right.

  3. 03

    We fire the laser

    Vector lines for crisp lettering and photo-grade raster for images, each dialled in for how the material takes the burn.

  4. 04

    Finish by hand

    Every piece is cleaned, sealed where it helps, and checked under the light for even depth and contrast.

  5. 05

    Wrapped and delivered

    Gift-ready packaging, shipped nationwide or ready for local pickup from the backyard workshop.

Kind words

Loved by the people who unwrap them
