Laser Projects

Our laser projects are a collaborative effort between my wife and me. She handles the creative side — coming up with original designs or sourcing them from talented makers — and she also runs the laser machines. I focus on the hands-on work: sanding, glue-ups, and most of the finishing, though she often lends a hand there too. We each bring our own strengths to the process, and the result is a blend of precision, artistry, and teamwork.

We work almost exclusively with wood, using both thin plywood and solid stock. Our laser engraver can etch fine detail and cut up to a quarter inch of solid maple. We’ve made everything from children’s puzzles and games to phone stands, keychains, and decorative pieces. Whether it’s a playful gift or something practical, each item is carefully made with a focus on quality and character.

Engraved Maple Cutting Board

One of my first laser projects—engraving a simple phrase and heart on a maple cutting board I had made earlier. A small experiment that turned out better than expected.
